Confessions of a triplicated addiction, the Internet, Chemistry, and ...Chemdraw.

Well fuck, so I read *who knows what* when i woke up which prompts me to open up chemdraw and do *whatever it was*. Well that led to something, and something and..

ended up looks like I got a post full of ranting and guessing and questions but shit i forgot the real reason i was going to post in the first place. But, I found a bunch of information somehow useful to me and well I sat for hours and hours, uh, so yeah, here's some "stuff"?! lol. Afterwards I looked at it, thinking oh god, well i should make a separate audio only thread and then a something else thread or something but fuck it i'm tired now. Argh.
----

I got the lucky chance to taste TMT or alpha,N,N-trimethyltryptamine once, orally, I forget the dose.. but it was maybe around 100mg or so. I've never tried MiPT, although have had 4-HO and AcO-MiPT and 5-MeO-MiPT.

With TMT I got some brigher colors, mild visuals (would dose higher IMO), and a very good body buzz, and audio distortion that reminded me of DiPT. But - i'm sensitive as fuck to any of these tryptamines that distort audio (only to the audio effects) for some reason compared to most everyone else. I haven't had MiPT but I bet i'd get some audio distortion - it seems anything with an isopropyl group (or, probably has to have the shape at least) does that. Each has their own 'flavour' of audio distortion, all lowering the pitch and screwing up linearity and harmonics but a little differently, and the audio effect seems totally separated from the psychedelic effect.

Anyway.. DiPT is the biggie of course, the one that's strong enough for most people to notice it. 5-MeO-DiPT seems to have a very very similar "flavour" to DiPT in the way sound is distorted. One time I kept redosing on 5-MeO-DiPT the entire night, whenever i'd start to come down, take another 10mg. Well by morning, psychedelic effects were gone but the audio was strong, DiPT like strong (maybe compared to DiPT at 40mg-45mg for me). For some reason 4-HO-DiPT does do it too, but just barely detectable really..

Now 4-AcO or HO-MiPT both distort audio, not much (but i've done the same thing as 5-meo-dipt noticed redosing boosted the audio distortion), but the "flavour" is definitely different. Harmonics are fucked up like the DiPT's but just fucked in a ...different way. Too bad I haven't tasted MiPT, because from what I read and now that i've had TMT (see pic), i'd bet money (well not much money) that i'd get some good audio distortion with MiPT and maybe would've taken the dose up higher too. I would guess MiPT's 'flavour' would be more like TMT's, still different but, just more like TMT, just because the molecules look so similar. I drew these in chemdraw, but deleted the Nitrogen's just so its easier to see i guess.

DMT, tried it (MANY TIMES! w00t), then there's homo-DMT, in some study (i have the file somewhere..) comparing some tryptamines it shows HDMT to be equal potent to DMT. HDMT is DMT but with an extra carbon chain between the N,N-DMT and the indole. Ignoring the nitrogens, you could say MiPT is just TMT with an extra carbon chain between the indole and where the uhm.. isopropyl and methyl split ..thingie is (since the N's are in the wrong spot don't know how else to say it just look at the image hehe).

I drew another DMT like molecule but made it one less carbon, actually I did not know that it was Gramine til I looked it up!



Well I don't know anything about gramine so i googled it,

The final tryptamine region to be explored was the alkyl side chain (see Figure 1). All of the tryptamine derivatives discussed to this point possess an unbranched alkyl side chain of two methylene units that separates the aromatic nucleus from the terminal amine; shortening this side chain to one methylene unit results in a series of agents called gramines. For example, 5-OMe DMT might be considered a homolog of its one methylene unit counterpart 5-OMe gramine (see Table 1). Administration of doses of 1.0 to 6.0 mg/kg of 5-OMe gramine to the DOMto 6.0 mg/kg of 5-OMe gramine to the DOM-trained animals resulted in a saline-like responding; solubility problems preclude administration of higher doses. However, the highest dose evaluated of 5-OMe gramine was 5 times the ED50 dose of 5-OMe DMT; thus, it was concluded that 5-OMe gramine was less effective than the latter agent in producing DOM-like effects (Glennon et al., 1983d).

From Tihkal:
This is gramine, or 3-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)indole which is synthesized in the plant with an entirely different set of enzymes. Its human pharmacology is not known. A related homologue, one carbon longer, is the three-carbon chain compound 3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]indole, produced by the Upjohn Company. It has been studied clinically under the code name U-6056, at levels of up to 70 milligrams in 10 subjects, by i.m. injection. There were no reports of visual, auditory or tactile disturbances. Physically, there was a slight increase in blood pressure anad pulse rate. Certainly there were no psychological effects.

Well fo' shizzy? suprise, there's that homo-DMT right there in Tihkal saying 70mg IM doses didn't do anything.. But I have some file somewhere with a chart, I don't know if it was receptor binding or animals but it showed it to be equal potent to DMT. I'll have to find that file..

I guess i'm just staring at these things, trying to figure out why they do what they do just by some patterns. Since I get audio distortion from TMT, well that overall shape of that part of the molecule must have more to do with it than where the nitrogen's are (or if there are any at all). Now, if Shulgin is right and HDMT is inactive, maybe its because if you ignore the nitrogen it looks kinda like a N-isopropyltryptamine - which is inactive like most mono substituted N,N tryptamines. NSBT and NTBT (taken out of Tihkal) are said to be a couple rare known active mono substituted tryptamines so I punched those into chemdraw also. I look at those two, and NSBT just looks like HDMT but with a methyl/ethyl and the N in a different spot. Methyl / Ethyl? MET.. orally active.. different effects.. NTBT kinda looks like HDMT but since the nitrogen is "where it usually is supposed to be" if you ignore the nitrogen its got that extra carbon chain going to a trimethyl thingamubugger.

So out of these the ones known to be orally active are a,N,N-TMT, a-MT, MiPT, NSBT, NTBT. Now these Nitrogens and where they're at, well I got a lot of reading to do thats for fuckin' sure. Interesting shit, but its like learning bits and pieces of C++ but not knowing whats basically happening (hmm.. SAR stuff and electrons and receptors and BACON!)

This base is the botanically and pharmacologically famous 5-MeO-DMT, missing one of its two N-methyl groups. Sort of a nor-5-MeO-DMT. Its human exploration has just been started, but the expected vulnerability of it to metabolic oxidative deamination makes it a good guess that it (as seen with the dimethyl homologue) will only be active parenterally, or when the body's destructive enzymes are held at bay by effective monoamine oxidase inhibition. This base has been found in several Virola species but, as it is always accompanied by 5-MeO-DMT, its contribution to the psychoactivity of the resulting snuff is completely unknown.

On that BL thread "Tihkal revised" and in at least one paper i've seen 5-MeO-NMT compared and looks like its about equal in potency. Anyone know if plain 5-MeO-T is active? This paper shows a number (well lots of them, different receptors) similar to serotonin, binding to 5HT2A, would be interesting to know what it does (smoked/IM/IV).

Surfing around more i found this,
The 5-methoxy homolog of serotonin is considered to be hallucinogenic in humans as is the 5-methoxy homolog of gramine (3-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)indole) (Gessner et al. 1961).

Ah, didnt even notice that the first thing said they are talking about 5-MeO-tryptamine. I pasted it here because of the last part 5-MeO-gramine being active.

Now all of these have audio distortion (except for the two on the bottom):



It seems like the requirement is, at least for all but the top two, that there's gotta be something that just looks like an N-methyl-N-isopropyl, or diisopropyl (and possibly ethyl/isopropyl? I haven't tried EiPT), but... the Nitrogen doesn't have to be there (where one is in MiPT anyway). a,N,N-TMT "looks" like it has that pattern and it definitely does have audio distortion. But what about the two on the top? 2,N,N-DMT and 2,N,N-DET. Is there some parts swinging around in some certain pattern with those that just fit into these mystery audio receptors (well, audio something!)?

DiPT is the most potent known auditory distorter, i'm sure a few things could be done to make that thing a totally inactive psychedelic but still alter audio.

***

Anyway - blah blah blah. a,N,N-TMT seemed like a good psychedelic, i've heard the word on the street it gets real good around 180mg I think.

Its a simple reaction from AMT, but shit, use some acealdehyde instead and I bet the a-methyl-N,N-DET version would rock too! Hmm wonder about the potency though?

Speaking of potency my guess is 5-MeO-a,N,N-TMT (made from that shitty 5-MeO-AMT) would be good and plenty active too. Could also do the higher alkyl's -DET etc.
 
Damn man!

I haven't had time to process all that but at least I think your structures of a,N,N-TMT are wrong. It should be alpha-methyl, not alpha-amino... Jesus, that's a long post =D
 
I understand your addiction. I too will sit in front of my computer and just draw molecules for hours, or make up sheets with different molecules to be compared.

I literally have three files of molecular representations, and most of them have the same ones. My girlfriend and friends think I am crazy that I can derive so much amusement from drawing 2C-T-7 for the X-teenth time, sitting next to 2C-T-4 and other brothers. In fact, wasn't I the one who turned you onto chemdraw? :)

Naaw been already using it, another friend gave me the name and d/l'ed it (because my original paid for version disppeared), thought you used a different program maybe not.

Other than Chemdraw/office, are there any other good programs out there worth looking into? Could be anything, anything chemistry i guess.. or if there's a Chemdraw clone that has some extra options.

Sometimes I get on and look at so many molecules, read that "acid, dragonfly's, and the 5hHT2A receptor" threads and others and think, damn, this one looks like this one but this, but why does this do that when its like this, you see LSD, almost seems like there are some certain patterns and maybe a symmetry, yes patterns are there that we know of, but with enough molecules made and tasted, and more variety too, almost seems like just doing some hard thinking and pattern watching/crossing with enough info, you could ... draw on screen without that much chem knowledge, some super super potent ones or maybe just ones more targeted for..what you want it to do.

There's a bunch of possible stimulants here:

I think I should bump that one up its possible MDPV might return maybe not, but if that was so well loved by enough people you know there's gotta be some simlar but better ones.

ChuangTzu yes your right that TMT is wrong.. oops.
 
Yaesutom!
I think, I understand what you mean with the similarity of TMT and MIPT when you simply move the nitrgen.
The logical consequence would be that the alpha-isporopyl-DMT (as N relocated cocongener of DIPT will also a good sound distorter. I have no idea about the activity, but anything tells me that the position of the nitrogen is crucial anyway.
