5-MeO-NiPT

5-MeO-NiPT, also known as 5-methoxy-N-isopropyltryptamine, is a serotonin receptor agonist and serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine family.^[1][2][3] It has been encountered as a novel designer and recreational drug.^[2][4]

The drug is a full agonist or near-full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT_1A, 5-HT_2A, 5-HT_2B, and 5-HT_2C receptors.^[1][2][3] It is inactive as a serotonin releasing agent and is very weak as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.^[3][2]

Unlike most other N-monoalkylated tryptamines, 5-MeO-NiPT produces the head-twitch response (HTR), a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents, albeit relatively weakly.^[1][2] It also produces hypolocomotion and hypothermia in rodents.^[1][2] In combination with the serotonin 5-HT_1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635 however, 5-MeO-NiPT instead produces hyperlocomotion.^[1]

5-MeO-NiPT is an active metabolite of 5-MeO-MiPT and 5-MeO-DiPT.^[1][5]
