isoDMT, also known as N,N-dimethylisotryptamine, is a putatively non-hallucinogenic serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist and psychoplastogen of the isotryptamine group.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is the isotryptamine homologue of dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a more well-known serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine family, and represents a small structural modification of DMT.[2][3][6]

Pharmacology

[edit]

The drug does not produce hallucinogen-like stimulus generalization in animal drug discrimination tests and similarly does not produce the head-twitch response, an animal behavioral proxy of psychedelic-like effects.[1][2][4][6] As such, it is not expected to be hallucinogenic in humans.[1][2][4][6] However, isoDMT retains significant activity at the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors and shows psychoplastogenic effects comparable to those of serotonergic psychedelics in preclinical research.[7][6][8][9] Its affinities (Ki) for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors have been reported to be 600–650 nM for 5-HT2A and 720 nM at 5-HT2C.[9]

Analogs

[edit]

Several derivatives of isoDMT have been developed, including the non-hallucinogenic psychoplastogens 5-MeO-isoDMT and AAZ-A-154 (DLX-001; (R)-5-MeO-α-methyl-isoDMT) and the hallucinogen and psychoplastogen 6-MeO-isoDMT.[1][10][7][6] AAZ-A-154 has shown antidepressant-like effects in animals, thought to be secondary to its psychoplastogenic actions, and is under development for potential medical use to treat neuropsychiatric disorders like depression.[1][11][12][13] Another analogue of isoDMT is α-methylisotryptamine (isoAMT), the isotryptamine homologue of α-methyltryptamine (AMT).[14][15][16]

History

[edit]

isoDMT and its derivatives were first described in the scientific literature by 1984.[1][8][10] They were subsequently further characterized in 2020.[7][6]

The isoDMT derivatives, first introduced in [1984] by Glennon et al., also represent a group of nonhallucinogenic 5-HT2AR agonists. For example, compounds isoDMT (22) and 5-OMe-isoDMT (24) have been identified as nonhallucinogenic in the drug discrimination test.139 Along that line, the Olson group [in 2020] reported a series of isoDMT compounds as a family of psychoplastogens, being able to promote neuronal growth.143 [...] they have identified compound AAZ-A-154 (31) as a nonhallucinogenic compound [and derivative of isoDMT and 5-MeO-isoDMT] with significant antidepressant effects in mouse models.105

PMID 35769681. Proof-of-concept experiments have been successful at structurally transforming ibogaine to tabernanthalog (TBG) [88] and DMT to isoDMT[89]. Both TBG and isoDMT promote neuroplasticity and have anti-addictive and behavioral effects, respectively. Further, both TBG and isoDMT do not induce a head-twitch response in rodents, which correlates well with the hallucinogenic properties of true psychedelics like LSD and psilocin [90].

PMID 36280799. Parallel efforts to improve the scalability of psychedelic-like therapeutics have focused on engineering compounds that lack hallucinogenic/perceptual effects but maintain sustained therapeutic efficacy after a single dose64. [...] Initial work in this area has focused on developing non-hallucinogenic entities (also referred to as non-hallucinogenic psychoplastogens65), such as isoDMT66, TBG67, and AAZ12 by slightly modifying the structures of known hallucinogenic compounds (Figure 1c).

Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies and the redesigning of traditional psychedelics has provided numerous candidate molecules that demonstrate the desired phenotype: lacking hallucinogenic properties but retaining therapeutic value. Dunlap et al. explored this strategy by identifying key features of the psychoplastogen pharmacophore (dimethyltryptamine, DMT) and engineering its derivatives ('isoDMT') capable of dendritogenesis, while lacking HTR responses in mice (Dunlap et al. 2020).

However, recent findings suggest that the TrkB-dependent effects of psychedelics on plasticity may be separated from their hallucinogenic-like effects mediated by 5-HT2A receptors [51,199,200]. This suggests the potential to discover compounds or treatment combinations that retain some of the antidepressant effects of psychedelics without the hallucinogenic effects [62,201]. Some of these compounds include isoDMT [202], tabernanthalog [199], AAZ-A-154 [203], and 2-bromo-LSD [204], achieved by modifying the structures of known hallucinogenic compounds.
