Chemistry:DALT

From HandWiki

Diallyltryptamine (DALT), also known as N,N-diallyltryptamine, is a tryptamine derivative which has been identified as a designer drug.[1][2]

Use and effects

According to Alexander Shulgin in TiHKAL, the dosage of DALT is >40 mg orally and its duration is unknown.[3] Its effects have not been described.[3] According to Stephen Szara and colleagues however, DALT and other extended N,N-dialkyltryptamines produce similar effects to dimethyltryptamine (DMT) but are longer-lasting, with durations of up to 3 hours.[3][4][5]

Notes: The smaller the value, the more avidly the drug binds to the site. All proteins are human unless otherwise specified. Refs:[6][7][8][9]

The receptor interactions of DALT have been studied.[6][7][8][9] The drug produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[10]

Chemistry

DALT has been used as an intermediate in the preparation of radiolabeled diethyltryptamine (DET).[11]

Synthesis

The chemical synthesis of DALT has been described.[3]

Analogues

Analogues of DALT include 4-HO-DALT, 4-AcO-DALT, 5-MeO-DALT, and methylallyltryptamine (MALT), among others.[3]

History

DALT was first described in the scientific literature by Stephen Szara and colleagues by 1962.[4][5]
