Summary sheet: 5-MeO-EiPT

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

Extremely little is known about the pharmacological properties, metabolism and toxicity of 5-MeO-EiPT, 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-EiPT, 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-EiPT is substituted at R₅ of its indole heterocycle with a methoxy (MeO) functional group CH₃O−; it also contains an ethyl group and an isopropyl chain bound to the terminal amine R_N of its tryptamine backbone (MiPT).

Pharmacology

Further information: Serotonergic psychedelic

5-MeO-EiPT'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. Like other 5-MeO tryptamines, it may bind more strongly to the 5-HT_1A receptor than the 5-HT_2A receptor; however, due to the paucity of research on 5-MeO-EiPT specifically, this is speculation.

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.

Physical effects

• • Stimulation
  • Spontaneous bodily sensations
  • Nausea
  • Bodily pressures
  • Dehydration
  • Stomach bloating
  • Pupil dilation
  • Vasoconstriction
  • Diarrhea

Visual effects

• Enhancements

  • Colour enhancement
  • Pattern recognition enhancement
  • Visual acuity enhancement

  Distortions

  • Drifting (Melting, Breathing, Warping and Flowing)
  • Tracers
  • After images
  • Symmetrical texture repetition
  • Colour shifting
  • Scenery slicing

  Geometry

  Hallucinatory states

  • Transformations
  • Internal hallucination (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; perspective hallucinations and scenarios and plots)

Cognitive effects

• • 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
  • 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-EiPT do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because 5-MeO-EiPT is a research chemical with extremely little history of human usage.

Anecdotal evidence from people within the community who have tried 5-MeO-EiPT 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-EiPT 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-EiPT is 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-EiPT presents cross-tolerance with all psychedelics, meaning that after the consumption of 5-MeO-EiPT all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.

Dangerous interactions

Warning: Many psychoactive substances that are reasonably safe to use on their own can suddenly become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with certain other substances. The following list provides some known dangerous interactions (although it is not guaranteed to include all of them).

Always conduct independent research (e.g. Google, DuckDuckGo, PubMed) to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume. Some of the listed interactions 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 - May increase the risk of negative psychological effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis.
• 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.
• NBOMe - 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.
• Tramadol - Increased risk of serotonin syndrome.
• aMT - Increased risk of serotonin syndrome.
• MAOIs - Increased risk of serotonin syndrome.
• PCP - Little information exists about this combination. May increase risk of psychosis and excessive stimulation.

Legal status

• New Zealand: 5-MeO-EiPT is an analogue of DMT which makes it a Class C controlled drug in New Zealand.
• United Kingdom: 5-MeO-EiPT is a Class A drug in the UK as it is an ether of the drug 5-HO-EiPT, which is a Class A drug as a result of the tryptamine catch-all clause.
• United States: 5-MeO-EiPT is unscheduled in the United States. It may be considered an analogue of 5-MeO-DiPT, a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. As such, the sale for human consumption or the use for illicit non-medical or industrial intents and purposes could be prosecuted as crimes under the Federal Analogue Act.
