6-MeO-DMT

(Redirected from 6-Methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine)

6-MeO-DMT, or 6-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, also known as 6-OMe-DMT, is a serotonergic drug of the tryptamine family.[1][2] It is the 6-methoxy derivative of the serotonergic psychedelic N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and is a positional isomer of the serotonergic psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT.[3]

Similarly to analogues like DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, 6-MeO-DMT acts as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist as well as a non-selective agonist of many other serotonin receptors.[1][2][4] However, in contrast to these agents, but similarly to certain other serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonists like 6-fluoro-DET, 2-bromo-LSD, lisuride, 25N-N1-Nap, and tabernanthalog, 6-MeO-DMT does not produce the head-twitch response (HTR) or other psychedelic-like effects in animals and hence appears to be non-hallucinogenic.[1][2][5][4] This is thought to be due to biased agonism of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor; more specifically, weak activation of the Gq pathway with an efficacy for this pathway of less than 70%.[2] However, the non-hallucinogenic nature of 6-MeO-DMT has yet to be confirmed in humans.[6][2] In addition to its apparent lack of hallucinogenicity, 6-MeO-DMT shows dramatically reduced potency as an agonist of all of the serotonin receptors compared to 5-MeO-DMT.[4]

6-MeO-DMT was first described in the scientific literature by 1968.[7][8][9] It was specifically assessed in a structure–activity relationship (SAR) animal study of serotonergic tryptamines.[7][8] The drug's lack of hallucinogen-like effects in animals, as determined by the HTR, was first described by at least 2020.[2][4]
