Care to elaborate w/ regards to the neurotoxicity?
To see if the 7-position corresponds to the 4-position of phens, something like 5-meo-7-ethyl-N,N-DMT would be interesting to test. The example above is pretty meaningless for a two reasons ...
1. The 7-Meo would correspond to TMPEA, which is inactive even as a phenethylamine. Add a halogen or an alkyl or a thioalkyl and you're set.
2. Moving a substituient to the 7-position still won't have the 2,4,5 substitution pattern. Adding a 5-meo would fix this.
Here's a list of neurotoxic/potentially so tryptamines:
4,5-DiHydroxy-T Very Neurotoxic
5-MeO-DiPT Questionably Neurotoxic
5,6-DiHydroxy-T Very Neurotoxic
5,7-DiHydroxy-T Very Neurotoxic
6,7-DiHydroxy-T Moderately Neurotoxic
4,5-DiOne-T Very Neurotoxic
2-amino-alpha-carboline Neurotoxic
2,n-DiMethyl-Harmine Very Neurotoxic
Harmane/Norharmane Moderately Neurotoxic
2-Methyl-Norharmane Very Neurotoxic
Harmaline - Somewhat Neurotoxic
1-TriClMe-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline Very Neurotoxic
1-TriBrMe-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline Very Neurotoxic
Ibogaine - Somewhat Neurotoxic
By neurotoxic I mean negative neuronal functioning (cell death, diminished transporter/transmitter/precursor/enzyme concentrations) somewhere in the brain that is long lasting or permanent.
My worry with 7-substituted things is how the body goes about attacking such compounds in the body, and whether the 5-MeO things might be somewhat dangerous in the first place. Preferentially, neuronal cells seem to 5-hydroxylate raw tryptamines and o-demthylate and 6-hydroxylate 5-MeO-Ts (aside from partial and full n-deamination). But how are the 7-things metabolised? Could they form something inherently dangerous, or be so themselves? We really need someone to administer some new things to mice or rats or chimps and see how their brains cope.
