4-HO-EPT, also known as 4-hydroxy-N-ethyl-N-propyltryptamine or as eprocin, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family, which is structurally related to psilocin (4-HO-DMT).[1] It was encountered as a novel designer drug in Japan by 2021.[1]

Use and effects

4-HO-EPT was not included or mentioned in Alexander Shulgin's book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved).[2]

4-HO-EPT is a potent full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors.[3] [4] It has one to two orders of magnitude greater potency as a serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptor agonist than as a serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist.[3] The drug also shows affinity for other serotonin receptors, such as the serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT6 receptors.[4] 4-HO-EPT produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[3]

Pharmacokinetics

[edit ]

The metabolism of 4-HO-EPT has been studied.[5]

Analogues

[edit ]

Analogues of 4-HO-EPT include ethylpropyltryptamine (EPT), 5-MeO-EPT, 5-fluoro-EPT, 4-HO-MPT, 4-HO-PiPT, 4-HO-DET, and 4-HO-DPT, among others.

Society and culture

[edit ]
[edit ]

United Kingdom

[edit ]

4-HO-EPT is illegal in the United Kingdom as a result of the Psychoactive Substances Act of 2016.[6]

United States

[edit ]

4-HO-EPT may be considered an analogue of psilocin, which is a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. As such, the sale for human consumption would be illegal under the Federal Analogue Act.[citation needed ]
