4-HO-DBT, also known as 4-hydroxy-N,N-dibutyltryptamine, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family related to psilocin (4-HO-DMT).[1] It is taken orally.[1]
Use and effects
[edit | edit source]In his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin reported that a 20 mg dose of 4-HO-DBT orally produced no effects.[1] However, this compound has subsequently been sold as a "research chemical" and anecdotal reports suggest that at higher doses 4-HO-DBT is indeed an active hallucinogen, although somewhat weaker than other similar tryptamine derivatives.[citation needed]

[edit | edit source]Properties
[edit | edit source]4-HO-DBT is found either as its crystalline hydrochloride salt or as an oily or crystalline base.
Synthesis
[edit | edit source]The chemical synthesis of 4-HO-DBT has been described.[1]
Isomers
[edit | edit source]Several different isomers of 4-HO-DBT could be made, including 4-HO-DiBT, 4-HO-DsBT, and 4-HO-DtBT, but of these only the isobutyl isomer 4-HO-DiBT was synthesized by Alexander Shulgin (melting point 152 to 154 °C) and was also found to be inactive at a 20 mg dose.[1] The serotonin receptor interactions of these isomers have been studied.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]4-HO-DBT was first described in the scientific literature by David Repke and colleagues in 1977.[3] It was subsequently described in further detail by Alexander Shulgin in his 1997 book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I have Known and Loved).[1]
