5-Methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (also known as 5-MeO-MiPT and moxy) is a lesser-known psychedelic substance of the tryptamine class. 5-MeO-MiPT is chemically related to tryptamines like 5-MeO-DMT and 5-MeO-DiPT. It produces its psychoactive effects through activity at serotonin receptors in the brain.

The synthesis and pharmacology of 5-MeO-MiPT was first reported in 1985 by David Repke and Alexander Shulgin. Its effects in humans was documented in Shulgin's book TiHKAL ("Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved").

Anecdotal reports describe 5-MeO-MiPT's effects 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 common to high doses, marked by muscle tension and nausea.

Very little is known about the pharmacological properties, metabolism and toxicity of 5-MeO-MiPT, 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 when 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.

Pharmacology

Further information: Serotonergic psychedelic

5-MeO-MiPT's psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptor as a partial agonist 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

5-MeO-MiPT can be taken via oral ingestion or it can be smoked. When ingested orally, the visual and sensory effects are reported to become more prominent. The experience can be broken up into two stages; the first half feels stimulating and entactogenic whilst the second half feels more similar to a traditional tryptamine psychedelic like psilocybin mushrooms or LSD. When smoked, the physically and cognitively stimulating effects become emphasized.

The effects listed below are based on the subjective effect index, which is based on anecdotal reports and the personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be treated with a healthy amount of skepticism. It is worth noting that these effects 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.

Physical effects

• • Stimulation - At doses below 10 to 15mg, 5-MeO-MiPT produces a degree of stimulation comparable to that of LSD.
  • Spontaneous bodily sensations - The "body high" of 5-MeO-MiPT can be described as a pleasurable, warm, soft and all-encompassing glow. This may be accompanied by a cold, sharp tingling sensation that manifests spontaneously at different unpredictable points throughout the experience, although for others can maintain a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.
  • Nausea - Nausea is commonly reported and can sometimes result in vomiting, although it typically fades after the come up phase. In comparison to 5-MeO-DiPT, this substance has a much lower tendency to trigger unpleasant physical reactions.
  • Bodily pressures
  • Abnormal heartbeat
  • Increased heart rate
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Headaches
  • Dehydration
  • Stomach bloating - At higher doses, this compound can induce severe stomach bloating within those who are susceptible. This can be partially to fully mitigated through the use of antacids.
  • Pupil dilation
  • Vasoconstriction
  • Diarrhea

Visual effects

• Enhancements

  • Colour enhancement
  • Pattern recognition enhancement
  • Visual acuity enhancement

  Distortions

  • Drifting (Melting, Breathing, Warping and Flowing) - In comparison to other psychedelics, this effect can be described as highly detailed, slow and smooth in motion and static in appearance.
  • Tracers
  • After images
  • Symmetrical texture repetition
  • Colour shifting
  • Scenery slicing

  Geometry

  The visual geometry produced by 5-MeO-MiPT can be described as more similar in appearance to that of Psilocin, 4-AcO-DMT or ayahuasca than that of LSD or 2C-B. It can be comprehensively described through its variations as intricate in complexity, abstract in form, organic in feel, brightly lit, multicoloured in scheme, glossy in shading, equal in blurred and sharp edges, large in size, fast in speed, smooth in motion, equal in rounded and angular corners, non-immersive in depth and progressive in intensity. At higher dosages they are significantly more likely to result in states of level 8B visual geometry over level 8A.

  Hallucinatory states

  5-MeO-MiPT produces a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used psychedelics.

  • Transformations
  • Internal hallucination (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; perspective hallucinations and scenarios and plots) - In comparison to other psychedelics such as LSD, 5-MeO-MiPT is extremely high in hallucinations at appropriate dosages. These are more common in darkness and can be comprehensibly described through their variations as lucid in believability, interactive in style, new experiences in content, autonomous in controllability, geometry-based in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme.

Cognitive effects

• At low to moderate doses, the cognitive effects of 5-MeO-MiPT are often described by many as both insightful and moderately relaxing, but at some points quite stimulating. 5-MeO-MiPT produces a large number of typical psychedelic cognitive effects which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. At higher dosages, however, it becomes primarily sedating and impairing with depersonalization and no accompanying insight.
  • Analysis enhancement
  • Empathy, affection, and sociability enhancement - This effect is consistently manifested only in the context of social settings in which one is within the company of others. These feelings of sociability, love and empathy are a little weaker and less sharp than those found on substances such as MDMA and 2C-B but still prove strong enough to provide long-lasting therapeutic effects.
  • Depersonalization - Unlike most traditional psychedelics, 5-MeO-MiPT can cause extreme depersonalization and dissociation for some users throughout the duration of the experience.
  • Conceptual thinking
  • Increased music appreciation
  • Emotion enhancement
  • Increased libido
  • Memory suppression
  • Novelty enhancement
  • Personal bias suppression
  • Thought acceleration
  • Thought connectivity
  • Time distortion
  • Wakefulness

Auditory effects

• • Enhancements
  • Distortions
  • Hallucinations

Toxicity and harm potential

Further information: Research chemicals § Toxicity and harm potential, and Responsible use § Hallucinogens

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

Although many psychoactive substances are reasonably safe to use on their own, they can quickly become dangerous or even life-threatening when taken with other substances. The following lists some known dangerous combinations, but cannot be guaranteed to include all of them. Independent research should always be conducted to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume. Some interactions listed have been sourced from TripSit.

• 2c-t-x - Both classes of compounds can be unpredictable alone
• 2c-x - The 5-MeO psychedelics can interact unpredictably to potentiate other psychedelics
• cannabis
• dox - The 5-MeO class of tryptamines can be unpredictable in their interactions, particularly increasing the risk of unpleasant physical side effects.
• mdma - Some of the 5-MeO tryptamines are a bit unpredictable and should be mixed with MDMA with care
• mescaline - The 5-MeO class of tryptamines can be unpredictable in their interactions
• nbomes - The 5-MeO class of tryptamines can be unpredictable in their interactions and the NBOMes are known to be unpredictable even alone. This combination is best avoided
• amphetamines - The anxiogenic and focusing effects of stimulants increase the chance of unpleasant thought loops. The combination is generally unnecessary because of the stimulating effects of psychedelics.
• cocaine - The anxiogenic and focusing effects of stimulants increase the chance of unpleasant thought loops. The combination is generally unnecessary because of the stimulating effects of psychedelics.
• dxm - Little information exists about this combination.
