Chemical compound
Lespedamine , also known as 1-methoxy-N ,N -dimethyltryptamine (1-methoxy-DMT or 1-MeO-DMT ), is an indole alkaloid and substituted tryptamine present in the plant Lespedeza bicolor .[ 1] [ 2] The alkaloid bears a close structural resemblance to the psychedelic alkaloid dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and it was speculated by Alexander Shulgin in TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved ) that it might be psychoactive .[ 3] No reports on lespedamine's biological activity are known to have been published.[ 3] Lespedamine is not an explicitly controlled substance in the United States , but may be considered a Schedule I controlled substance in this country as it is a positional isomer of 5-MeO-DMT .[ 4] [ 5]

^ a b Shulgin A (1997). Tihkal: The Continuation . Transform Press. #6. DMT . ISBN 978-0-9630096-9-2 . Retrieved 17 August 2024 . Several simple substitution derivatives of DMT are known. Those that are known to be psychedelic have their own recipes, of course, but the others will be summarized here. The 1-methyl homologue of DMT (1,N,N-trimethyltryptamine) can be prepared from DMT in KOH and DMSO, with CH3I. It forms a picrate salt which melts at 175–179 °C, and bioxalate, mp 174–176 °C. It is more toxic than DMT in rats, but has an identical serotonin binding capacity. The compound with a methoxy group substituent at the 1-position is called Lespedamine, 1-MeO-DMT. With an NO bond, this should be classified as a substituted hydroxylamine. I would love to know if anyone anywhere has ever tried smoking it. I suspect it might very well be active, but it is, to my knowledge, untried. I wonder why it deserves a trivial name, vis., Lespedamine? [...]
