TiHKAL states the following:
I was wondering, what is it that makes the isopropyl analogue of MPT more active? As far as I know there is no interaction between the 5-HT receptor and the alkyl tail. Or is there?
I know FnB drawed some pretty models with different compounds which nicely displayed the interaction with the serotonin receptor, could someone do that with MPT and MiPT as well? I'd be great
.
The isomer of MIPT with a considerably less bunched up propyl group, N-methyl-N-propyltryptamine or MPT. This was made via the amide from indoleglyoxyl chloride and methylpropylamine, and reduction with LAH. MS (in m/z): C5H12N+ 86 (100%); indolemethylene+ 130 (8%); parent ion 216 (1%). Several human trials, up to twenty milligrams orally, showed no effects of any kind, so the activity, if there is any, is definitely less than that of MIPT. So the lumpiness of the isopropyl may be playing some role. There is no other way that is obvious of challenging this without adding more carbon atoms, and that would introduce another variable. This same decoration scheme has been used successfully in several other of the tryptamines in this story.
