6-Methoxy-DMT
6-methoxy-DMT.png

In vitro 6-Methoxy-DMT was found to bind to human 5-HT(2) receptor sites.[1] It also binds to human 5-HT(6) receptor sites.

In vitro tests found that 6-Methoxy-DMT bound to rat 5-HT(2A) receptor sites with approximately 1/12 the affinity of DMT, but it's binding affinity was approximately 3 times stronger towards 5-HT(1A) at approximately 1/6 the affinity of DMT.[2]

It's action in man appears to be untested.[2]

The corresponding allylbenzene alkaloid metabolite of this molecule is 1'-oxoestragole-DMA.
