Chemistry:5-HO-DET

From HandWiki

5-HO-DET, or 5-hydroxy-DET, also known as 5-hydroxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the tryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine families related to the psychedelic drug bufotenin (5-HO-DMT).[1][2][3] It is the derivative of bufotenin in which the N,N-dimethyl groups have been replaced with N,N-diethyl groups.[1][2] The drug is also the N,N-diethyl derivative of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and the 5-hydroxy derivative of diethyltryptamine (DET).[1][2]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

5-HO-DET shows relatively low potency in terms of psychedelic-like behavioral effects in the conditioned avoidance response test in rodents.[1][2] It has been suggested that this might be due to 5-HO-DET having poor lipophilicity and blood–brain barrier permeability analogously to bufotenin.[1][2] However, 5-HO-DET has significantly greater lipophilicity than bufotenin owing to its ethyl instead of methyl groups (predicted log P = 1.9 and 1.2, respectively).[4][5] 5-HO-DET has been assessed and found to show high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1E and 5-HT1F receptors.[3]

History

5-HO-DET was first described in the scientific literature by Hunt and Brimblecombe by at least 1967.[1][2]
