I · Summary

What is known

Published passages, each quoted whole and attributed to the database that published it. Two blocks are written here rather than quoted, and both say so where they stand: the synthesized summary at the top, which may draw only on the passages beneath it, and the history note, which cites the works it came from. Every claim in either carries a marker to its source.

What it is

  • 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine is a tryptamine alkaloid that is N,N-dimethyltryptamine substituted by a methoxy group at position 5. It has a role as a hallucinogen and a plant metabolite. It is an aromatic ether, a tryptamine alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It is functionally related to a bufotenin.
  • 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine is a DEA Schedule I controlled substance. Substances in the DEA Schedule I have no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse. It is a Hallucinogenic substances substance.
  • 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) is a tryptamine with psychedelic properties. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and a single psychoactive toad species, the Colorado River toad. This drug, as well as [dimethyltryptamine] and [bufotenin], have been registered to be used in South America in religious and spiritual rituals.
  • N,N-dimethyl-5-methoxytryptamine has been reported in Anadenanthera peregrina, Arundo donax, and other organisms with data available.

In the body

  • N,n-dimethyl-5-methoxytryptamine has known human metabolites that include Bufotenine.

History, discovery and cultural use

— Not in this archive. PubChem, ChEMBL and the Human Protein Atlas publish pharmacology, regulation and toxicology, and none of them publishes a heading for when 5-MeO-DMT was first made, by whom, or how it has been used. That is a gap in the databases this site reads and not a gap in the literature — the history of these compounds is written, at length and under peer review, in the works below. This site does not summarize them; it says where they are. Where a published passage above happens to touch origin or traditional use, it appears inside the entry that carries it.

Histories of this field

Scholarship on psychedelics generally, not on 5-MeO-DMT specifically. Whether any of these treats this compound is a question for the book, not for this page.

Institutional archives

  • Heffter Research Institute Funds and coordinates clinical research on psilocybin, and keeps records of the studies it has supported since 1993. Sponsors the research it archives.
  • Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Sponsors clinical research, chiefly on MDMA-assisted therapy, and publishes an archive of historical and contemporary documents. A sponsor and an advocacy organization, not a disinterested archive; its clinical programme has a commercial arm.

The rest of this dossier

  • Affinity — 37 measurements in this archive, equilibrium constants kept apart from functional readouts.
  • Toxicology — nothing published for 5-MeO-DMT. An absent record is an absence of study, not evidence of safety.
  • Legal — DEA Schedule I, with the passage it was read from.
  • Systems — where this compound’s targets are transcribed, by brain region and tissue.

Passages via PubChem descriptive sections, aggregating DrugBank, LiverTox, FDA, DEA, HSDB, EPA. Each is quoted whole and attributed to the database that published it. The only prose written here about 5-MeO-DMT is the history note, which says so on its face and carries a reference for every claim in it.

III · Behavior

Behavioral summary

Class, mechanism, and the duration of acute effects — each quoted from the record or trial that publishes it. Duration of effects and plasma half-life are shown separately, because they are different quantities and diverge by a factor of three or four.

Classification

MeSH indexes no pharmacological class for this compound.

Duration of acute subjective effects

—

No controlled human trial reporting a duration for this compound is cited here. The archive does hold onset and duration ranges for it, inherited from an earlier build, but their source column is empty and so they cannot be shown. A duration is not inferred from a chemical relative.

Plasma elimination half-life

How fast the body clears the drug — not how long the effects last. The two diverge sharply: LSD is cleared with a half-life of about 2.6 h while its subjective effects run 8–12 h.

No half-life is published for this compound in the sources this site reads.

Primary pharmacological drivers

ChEMBL holds no curated mechanism-of-action record for this compound. The measured affinities below are the evidence this archive has for what it binds.

Nothing about this compound’s pharmacology is published with a citation in the sources this site reads. The measured binding data below is what the archive can show.

IV · Clinical

Clinical description

Where this compound's substance class sits in ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR, and how much of the recorded literature speaks to each domain of a mental status examination.

No diagnostic chapter is shown for this compound. Either PubChem records no MeSH pharmacological class for it, or the class it records is not one of the substance classes ICD-11 gives a chapter to. Inferring a chapter from the compound’s name or its binding profile would be a diagnosis this archive is in no position to make.

How much has been written about each domain

The clinical domains, and how many of the records this archive holds for this compound say something under each. What the terms mean, and the word list behind every spoke, are set out in the method.

None of the 0 records this archive holds for this compound uses a term from any of the clinical domains. That is a statement about the literature recorded here, not about the compound.

V · Systems

Systems physiology

Where the targets this compound binds are transcribed — brain regions on the left, peripheral and autonomic tissues on the right. A join of two measurements, not a claim about what the compound does to either.

Each row joins two published measurements and nothing else: the affinity this archive holds for the compound at that target, and the transcript level the Human Protein Atlas reports for that target’s gene in that region. Bars scale with expression only. Expression is not activation — a receptor transcribed in a region is a receptor available to be bound there, which is a weaker and more defensible claim than saying the region is affected.

3 of this compound’s targets could not be resolved to a gene and are absent from both columns: 5-HT1, 5-HT2, Serotonin (5-HT) receptor.

Fig. Radius is pX = −log₁₀(value in M), that is 9 − log₁₀(value in nM), computed from the normalized measurement. Hatched wedges are equilibrium binding constants (Ki, Kd); dashed outlines are functional readouts (IC₅₀, EC₅₀, AC₅₀, potency), which answer a different question and are not pooled with them. Rings mark whole pX units from 5 to 10, labeled every second ring in the gutter at the top. Where a target carries several measurements, the strongest is drawn.

VII · Toxicology

Toxicological profile

What has been measured, and what has been published — kept apart, and neither scored. There is no risk rating on this page; the archive once carried one, identical for every compound, produced by a stub.

Measured in this archive

Assays that bear on toxicity, drawn from the same ChEMBL records as everything else on this page. They are measurements of what a compound binds or does to cells — not verdicts about what it does to a person.

No hERG, cytochrome, cytotoxicity or transport measurement exists for 5-MeO-DMT in this archive.

Published toxicology

— None. The toxicology databases this site reads — HSDB, RTECS and LiverTox, by way of PubChem — hold no record for 5-MeO-DMT. They index compounds that have been studied for decades, so most of this archive has no entry. An absent record is an absence of study, not evidence of safety.

Published passages via PubChem toxicology sections, aggregating Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), RTECS, LiverTox. No figure on this page is scored, ranked or combined into a risk level.

Records from ClinicalTrials.gov (U.S. National Library of Medicine, NIH), API v2. A study is listed against a compound only when a verified name for that compound appears as a whole word in one of the study's own intervention names. A short code must appear as written, and a name the registry uses for something else (Aleph, a vaccine maker) is not matched. Title matches are not accepted. The matched name and the intervention text it matched are shown with every row.

Searched as 5-MeO-DMT · O-Methylbufotenine · 5-Methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine. Run this search at the registry — it returns the unfiltered result, including studies this page rejected as belonging to a different molecule.

A registered trial is a protocol somebody filed with the registry. It is not a result, and nothing on this plate says whether 5-MeO-DMT worked.

Sources behind this dossier

The papers this compound's values were read from, ranked by what each contributed. Not a review of the field.

No reference is recorded against any value for this compound. Its measurements come from ChEMBL assay records that carry an assay identifier but no publication, so there is no paper to cite here — an absence in the upstream record, not a judgment about the evidence. The assay identifiers in Every measurement resolve to the records the values were read from.
