5,6-MDO-DMT, or 5,6-methylene
dioxy
-N,N-dimethyltryptamine
, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug
. It is the 5,6-methylene
dioxy
analog
of DMT
. 5,6-MDO-DMT was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin
. In his book TiHKAL
(Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), 5,6-MDO-DMT produces no noticeable psychoactive effects, although it was only tested up to a dose of 5mg. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 5,6-MDO-DMT.

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...
