5-Methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (also known as 5-MeO-MiPT or colloquially as Moxy) is a lesser-known psychedelic substance of the tryptamine class that produces psychedelic effects when administered. It is structurally related to tryptamines like MiPT, 4-HO-MiPT, and 5-MeO-DiPT.

5-MeO-MiPT has no history of human usage prior to the 1985 publication of its synthesis and pharmacology by Repke, Grotjahn & Shulgin.^{[citation needed]}

Anecdotal reports characterize the effects of this compound as highly stimulating and mildly entactogenic, lacking in typical psychedelic visual distortions. Many users report strong physical and tactile effects that serve to enhance libido and sexual pleasure. An unpleasant body load is also often reported at higher dosages.

Very little is known about the pharmacological properties, metabolism and toxicity of this substance, and it has a limited history of human use. It has been sold online as a research chemical. It is highly advised to use harm reduction practices if using this substance.

Chemistry

5-MeO-MiPT or 5-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the tryptamine class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R₃ to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 5-MeO-MiPT is substituted at R₅ of its indole heterocycle with a methoxy (MeO) functional group CH₃O−; it also contains a methyl group and an isopropyl chain bound to the terminal amine R_N of its tryptamine backbone (MiPT). 5-MeO-MiPT is the N-substituted isopropyl homologue of 5-MeO-DMT.^[1]

Pharmacology

5-MeO-MiPT's psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptor as a partial agonist^[2][3] and additional mechanisms of action such as the inhibition of MAO (i.e. digestive enzymes in the stomach) have also been speculated upon, though this has yet to be demonstrated scientifically.

Subjective effects

This substance can be taken via oral ingestion or it can be smoked. When ingested orally the experience puts more of an emphasis on visual effects but can be broken up into two stages; the first half of the experience feels stimulating and entactogenic whilst the second half feels more similar to a traditional tryptamine psychedelic. When smoked, the physically and cognitively stimulating effects become emphasized.

The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. These effects should be taken with a grain of salt and will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier doses will increase the chances of inducing a full range of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become much more likely on higher doses and may include serious injury or death.

Toxicity and harm potential

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 5-MeO-MiPT do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because 5-MeO-MiPT is a research chemical with very little history of human usage.

Anecdotal evidence from people within the community who have tried 5-MeO-MiPT suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). Independent research should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.

It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this drug.

Tolerance and addiction potential

5-MeO-MiPT is not habit-forming and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.

Tolerance to the effects of 5-MeO-MiPT are built almost immediately after ingestion. After that, it takes about 3 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 7 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 5-MeO-MiPT presents cross-tolerance with all psychedelics, meaning that after the consumption of 5-MeO-MiPT all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.

Dangerous interactions

There are no known deaths from 5-MeO-MiPT but, as a monoamine reuptake inhibitor (MRI)^[4], injury could occur when excessive doses are taken or when it is taken with drugs such as MAOIs, RIMAs, stimulants and any substance which act as a releasing agent or reuptake inhibitor of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.^[5]
