5,6-MDO-MiPT, or 5,6-methylene
dioxy
-N-methyl-N-isopropyl
tryptamine
, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug
. It is the 5,6-methylene
dioxy
analog
of MiPT
. 5,6-MDO-MiPT was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin
. In his book TiHKAL
(Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), 5,6-MDO-MiPT produces slight paresthesia
at low doses. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 5,6-MDO-MiPT.
Methylene
Methylene is a chemical species in which a carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms. Three different possibilities present themselves:* the -CH2- substituent group: e.g., dichloromethane ....

-N-methyl-N-isopropyl
Isopropyl
In organic chemistry, isopropyl is a propyl with a group attached to the secondary carbon. If viewed as a functional group an isopropyl is an organic compound with a propyl group attached at its secondary carbon.The bond is therefore on the middle carbon....

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...
