Psychedelic Research Chemicals or RC Chems are new synthetic substances which are structurally similar to the original drug, while being functional analogs. Data on their effects limited due as they’re fairly new and do not have a lot of human consumption history.

Psychedelics are substances (natural or laboratory made) which cause profound changes in a one’s perceptions of reality. While under the influence of hallucinogens, users might hallcuniate visually and auditorily.

This is an Experimental Substance with little data. This is most likely because the substance is is not very old. Information is limite and incomplete.

Disclaimer: Psychedelic drugs offer some of the most powerful and intense psychological experiences. Additionally these substances are illegal in many places. We understand that even though these substances are illegal, their use occurs frequently. We do not condone breaking of the law. By providing accurate information about these substances, we encourage the user to make responsible decisions and practice harm reduction.

  • DIPROPYL-4-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE
  • 4-HO-DPT
  • 4-hydroxy DPT
  • 4-Hydroxydipropyltryptamine
  • 4-Hydroxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine
  • Deprocin

A psychedelic hallucinogenic first synthesized by alexander shulgin. At light doses it causes enhanced cognition and appreciation for things like art and music while high doses cause visuals. The drug is known to cause a bodyload.

Summary

Alexander Shulgin first synthesized 4-HO-DPT and documented it in his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved). It is the 4-hydroxyl analog of DPT. Today it is either used recreationally or as an entheogenic compound and is typically acquired through the use of online research chemical vendors.

Due to the difficulty of its synthesis, it remains relatively uncommon even for a substituted tryptamine and has very little history of human usage.

Chemistry

Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicyclic indole heterocycle attached at R3 to an amino group via an ethyl side chain.

4-HO-DPT is substituted at R4 of its indole heterocycle with a hydroxyl functional group OH−.

It also contains two propyl chains bound to the terminal amine RN of its tryptamine backbone (DPT). 4-HO-DPT is a 4-hydroxy analog of 4-AcO-DPT and the N-substituted dipropyl homolog of psilocin (4-HO-DMT).

Legal Status

Due to its relative obscurity, 4-HO-DPT is unscheduled in most countries.

  • Germany: 4-HO-DPT is controlled under the NpSG (New Psychoactive Substances Act) as of July 18, 2019. Production and import with the aim to place it on the market, administration to another person and trading is punishable. Possession is illegal but not penalized.

  • Sweden: 4-HO-DPT is classified as a "dangerous substance", which means it requires a special permit to buy or sell. It is, however, not yet classified as a drug.
  • United Kingdom: 4-HO-DPT is a Class A drug in the United Kingdom as a result of the tryptamine catch-all clause.
  • United States: 4-HO-DPT is unscheduled in the United States. It may be considered an analogue of psilocin (which is a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act). As such, the sale for human consumption or could be prosecuted as crimes under the Federal Analogue Act.
