History and culture
This History and culture section is a stub. As a result, it may contain incomplete or wrong information. You can help by expanding it. |
5-MeO-PiPT (also known as Poxy) is a synthetic substituted tryptamine that first appeared as a designer drug. It was identified in drug checking samples in British Columbia, Canada, in 2021. It was not described or tested by Alexander Shulgin and is absent from TiHKAL. Very little information on its recreational use or cultural impact is available due to its relative obscurity. Anecdotal reports say it's a more sedating and calmer version that 5-MeO-MiPT (Moxy) and 5-MeO-DiPT (Foxy) with more visuals.
Chemistry
This chemistry section is incomplete. You can help by adding to it. |
5-MeO-PiPT, systematically named N-[2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-N-(propan-2-yl)propan-1-amine (or 5-methoxy-N-propyl-N-isopropyltryptamine), is a substituted tryptamine and 5-methoxytryptamine. It features a methoxy group at the 5-position of the indole ring and asymmetric N,N-dialkyl substitution (n-propyl and isopropyl) on the ethylamine side chain.
Its molecular formula is C17H26N2O and its molar mass is 274.408 g·mol−1. It is structurally related to other 5-methoxytryptamines such as 5-MeO-DMT, 5-MeO-MiPT, 5-MeO-DiPT, 5-MeO-EiPT, and 5-MeO-DPT, as well as the unsubstituted parent compound PiPT and the 4-hydroxy analogue 4-HO-PiPT.
CAS Number: 2945111-53-3
Pharmacology
This pharmacology section is incomplete. You can help by adding to it. |
5-MeO-PiPT acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist. It is an agonist at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, with a reported EC50 of 13.8 nM and efficacy of 89% (receptor subtype assignment for these exact values is not fully detailed in available sources). Like other serotonergic psychedelics, its hallucinogenic effects are presumed to be mediated primarily via 5-HT2A agonism, potentially modulated by concurrent 5-HT1A activity. Detailed binding affinity, selectivity, or functional data beyond these limited reports are currently scarce.
Subjective effects
| This subjective effects section is a stub. As such, it is still in progress and may contain incomplete or wrong information. You can help by expanding or correcting it. |
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 ☠. Very limited anecdotal data exist. One published report described low sublingual doses (total ~6 mg, staggered) as producing effects qualitatively similar to 5-MeO-MiPT but milder, more clearheaded, somewhat tenser/crampier in body load, with reduced richness, empathy, appetite enhancement, and overall life-experience enhancement relative to 5-MeO-MiPT. Visual effects were minimal or absent at the doses tested. Potency appears roughly comparable to or slightly lower than 5-MeO-MiPT, though more data are needed.
Physical effects 
- Limited reports mention mild body tension or cramping and a relatively clearheaded physical profile at low doses. Stimulation and tactile effects, if present, appear less pronounced than with related compounds such as 5-MeO-MiPT or 5-MeO-DiPT based on the available single-report comparison. Physical euphoria Spontaneous bodily sensations Muscle tension
Visual effects 
-
Visual effects appear minimal at low-to-moderate doses according to the limited available report.
Enhancements
- Colour enhancement (possible, mild)
Distortions
- Visual drifting (minimal or absent at low doses)
Geometry
Insufficient data.
Hallucinatory states
Insufficient data; closed- and open-eye visuals appear weak or absent at the low doses documented.
Cognitive effects 
- Effects at low doses have been described as clearheaded with reduced empathogenic or mood-enhancing qualities compared to 5-MeO-MiPT. Analysis enhancement Thought acceleration Emotion enhancement (mild)
Auditory effects 
- Insufficient data.
Multi-sensory effects 
- Insufficient data.
Transpersonal effects 
- Insufficient data.

A small number of reports exist (primarily one detailed low-dose trial on Erowid). More data are required to characterize the effects profile reliably.
Toxicity and harm potential
This toxicity and harm potential section is a stub. As a result, it may contain incomplete or even dangerously wrong information! You can help by expanding upon or correcting it. |
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 5-MeO-PiPT use have not been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because 5-MeO-PiPT is a research chemical with a very brief history of human use. Anecdotal evidence from people within the community who have tried 5-MeO-PiPT suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the substance by itself at low to moderate doses and using it sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).
It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this substance.
Lethal dosage
The LD50 of 5-MeO-PiPT has not been determined. As with other tryptamines, the risk of acute overdose appears relatively low when used in a controlled setting at moderate doses, but this has not been systematically studied.
Tolerance and addiction potential
As with most psychedelic tryptamines, 5-MeO-PiPT is not considered highly addictive. Tolerance is expected to develop with repeated use in a manner similar to related compounds, with cross-tolerance to other serotonergic psychedelics likely. Physical dependence or withdrawal symptoms have not been reported.
Dangerous interactions
This dangerous interactions section is a stub. As such, it may contain incomplete or invalid information. You can help by expanding upon or correcting it. |
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. 5-MeO-PiPT is expected to interact dangerously with other serotonergic agents (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, other psychedelics, certain opioids, etc.) due to the risk of serotonin syndrome. Combinations with stimulants, depressants, or other CNS-active substances should also be approached with extreme caution or avoided. No specific interaction data for 5-MeO-PiPT itself currently exist.
Legal status
This legality section is a stub. As such, it may contain incomplete or wrong information. You can help by expanding it. |
5-MeO-PiPT is not explicitly scheduled under the United States Controlled Substances Act at the federal level. It may, however, be considered a controlled substance analogue of scheduled tryptamines (such as 5-MeO-DiPT) under the Federal Analogue Act if intended for human consumption. Legal status in other jurisdictions is largely unreported and may vary; it has appeared in designer-drug seizures in Canada.

Literature
Limited peer-reviewed literature exists. Primary sources are sparse analytical detections, patent literature mentioning the compound, and receptor pharmacology data embedded in broader 5-methoxytryptamine structure–activity studies.
