4-HO-DPT, or 4-hydroxy
-N,N-dipropyl
tryptamine
, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug
. It is the 4-hydroxyl
analog
of DPT
. 4-HO-DPT was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin
. In his book TiHKAL
(Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), neither the minimum dosage nor the duration are known. 4-HO-DPT produces few to no effects. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-HO-DPT.
Hydroxyl
A hydroxyl is a chemical group containing an oxygen atom covalently bonded with a hydrogen atom. In inorganic chemistry, the hydroxyl group is known as the hydroxide ion, and scientists and reference works generally use these different terms though they refer to the same chemical structure in...

analog
Analog (chemistry)
In chemistry, a structural analog , also known as chemical analog or simply analog, is a compound having a structure similar to that of another one, but differing from it in respect of a certain component. It can differ in one or more atoms, functional groups, or substructures, which are replaced...
