7-MeO-DMT, or 7-OMe-DMT, also known as 7-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the tryptamine family.[1] It is the 7-methoxy derivative of the serotonergic psychedelic dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and is a positional isomer of 5-MeO-DMT, 4-MeO-DMT, and 6-MeO-DMT.[1]

Pharmacology

[edit]

In an early study using the isolated rat stomach fundus strip, the drug showed very low serotonin receptor affinity (A2 = 4,677 nM) that was about 56-fold lower than that of 5-MeO-DMT.[2][3][4] However, this assay was subsequently found to be an unreliable predictor of hallucinogenic activity.[5] In subsequent studies, 7-MeO-DMT bound to the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 5,400–5,440 nM) and had 9- to 59-fold lower affinity than 5-MeO-DMT and 5- to 17-fold lower affinity than DMT.[1][6][7] It showed no detectable affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (Ki = >10,000 nM), but did show affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor (Ki = 1,760 nM).[7] Its affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor was 160-fold lower than that of 5-MeO-DMT and was 9-fold lower than that of DMT.[7] 7-MeO-DMT has also been assessed at the serotonin 5-HT1E and 5-HT1F receptors (Ki = >10,000 nM and 2,620 nM, respectively).[8]

7-MeO-DMT substitutes for the atypical psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT in rodent drug discrimination tests.[4] The drug was only briefly mentioned in Alexander Shulgin's 1997 book TiHKAL and is not known to have been tested in humans.[2][9] Hence, it is unknown whether 7-MeO-DMT produces psychedelic effects in humans.[2][9]

History

[edit]

7-MeO-DMT was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1968.[10]

Nevertheless, substitutions at positions 6 or 7 were reported to reduce or even abolish the binding ability to 5-HT2 receptors. For example, 6-OMe-DMT (35, Ki = 7300 nM) and 7-OMe-DMT (36, Ki = 5400 nM) exhibited reduced affinity compared to that of DMT (Ki = 1200 nM) at [3H]-ketanserin-labeled 5-HT2Rs.124
