[[File:Bufo alvarius1.jpg|thumb|Colorado River toad]]
'''5-MeO-DMT''' ('''5-methoxy-''N'',''N''-dimethyltryptamine''') or '''O-methyl-bufotenin''' is a [[psychedelic drug|psychedelic]] of the [[Substituted tryptamine|tryptamine]] class. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and also is secreted by the glands of at least one toad species, the [[Colorado River toad]]. Like its close relatives [[Dimethyltryptamine|DMT]] and [[bufotenin]] (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an [[entheogen]] in [[South America]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Araújo AM, Carvalho F, Bastos M, Guedes de Pinho P, Carvalho M | title = The hallucinogenic world of tryptamines: an updated review | journal = Archives of Toxicology | volume = 89 | issue = 8 | pages = 1151–1173 | date = August 2015 | pmid = 25877327 | doi = 10.1007/s00204-015-1513-x | s2cid = 4825078 }}</ref> Slang terms include Five-methoxy, the power, bufo, and toad venom.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thethirdwave.co/psychedelics/5-meo-dmt/|title=Ultimate Guide to 5-MeO-DMT - Experience, Benefits, & Side Effects|date=29 June 2020}}</ref>

==Chemistry==
5-MeO-DMT was first [[Organic synthesis|synthesized]] in 1936, and in 1959 it was isolated as one of the [[Psychoactive drug|psychoactive]] ingredients of ''[[Anadenanthera peregrina]]'' [[seed]]s used in preparing [[Anadenanthera peregrina|Yopo]] snuff. It was once believed to be a major component of the [[neuropsychopharmacology|psychoactive effects]] of the snuff, although this has recently been shown to be unlikely, due to the limited or sometimes even non-existent quantity contained within the seeds, which instead achieve their psychoactivity from the ''O''-[[Demethylation|demethylated]] [[metabolite]] of 5-MeO-DMT, [[bufotenin]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ott J | title = Pharmañopo-psychonautics: human intranasal, sublingual, intrarectal, pulmonary and oral pharmacology of bufotenine | journal = Journal of Psychoactive Drugs | volume = 33 | issue = 3 | pages = 273–281 | date = July–September 2001 | pmid = 11718320 | doi = 10.1080/02791072.2001.10400574 | s2cid = 5877023 }}</ref><ref name=Shen/> It is [[metabolism|metabolized]] mainly by [[CYP2D6]].<ref name=Shen>{{cite journal | vauthors = Shen HW, Jiang XL, Winter JC, Yu AM | title = Psychedelic 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine: metabolism, pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, and pharmacological actions | journal = Current Drug Metabolism | volume = 11 | issue = 8 | pages = 659–666 | date = October 2010 | pmid = 20942780 | pmc = 3028383 | doi = 10.2174/138920010794233495 }}</ref>

==Effects==
When smoked, the duration of effects can be as little as ten minutes; when [[Insufflation (medicine)|insufflated]], up to two hours. Effects vary and can range from radical perspective shifting and perception of new insights, euphoria, immersive experiences, [[Dissociation (psychology)|dissociation]] and non-responsiveness, sensual/erotic enhancement, to dysphoria, fear, terror, panic, and [[ego death]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://erowid.org/chemicals/5meo_dmt/5meo_dmt_effects.shtml|publisher=Erowid.org|access-date=2021-07-30|title=5-MeO-DMT Effects by Erowid}}</ref>{{Better source needed|reason=Needed reliable source that binds WP:MEDRS |date=May 2023}}

===Religious use===<!-- [[Church of the Tree of Life]] redirects here -->

The '''Church of the Tree of Life''', founded in California in 1971 by John Mann but now defunct, declared the use of 5-MeO-DMT to be a [[sacrament]]. From approximately 1971 to the late 1980s, 5-MeO-DMT was discreetly available to its members.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Book of Sacraments: Ritual Use of Magical Plants | vauthors = Mann J, Gottlieb A |publisher=Ronin Publishing |year=2015 |orig-year=First published 1970|isbn=978-1-57951-210-1|contribution=back cover}}</ref><ref name="Erowid">{{cite web |url=https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/5meo_dmt/5meo_dmt_timeline.php |title=5-MeO-DMT Timeline |work=Erowid}}</ref> Between 1970 and 1990, smoking of 5-MeO-DMT on [[parsley]] was probably one of the two most common forms of [[route of administration|ingestion]] in the [[United States]].<ref name="Erowid"/>{{Unreliable source?|date=October 2023}}

==Pharmacology==
5-MeO-DMT is a [[Methoxylation|methoxylated]] [[derivative (chemistry)|derivative]] of [[Dimethyltryptamine|DMT]]. While most common psychedelics are believed to primarily elicit psychological effects through [[agonist|agonism]] of serotonin 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptors, 5-MeO-DMT shows 1000-fold greater [[Affinity (pharmacology)|affinity]] for [[5-HT1A receptor|5-HT<sub>1A</sub>]] over [[5-HT2A receptor|5-HT<sub>2A</sub>]];<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ray TS | title = Psychedelics and the human receptorome | journal = PLOS ONE | volume = 5 | issue = 2 | pages = e9019 | date = February 2010 | pmid = 20126400 | pmc = 2814854 | doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0009019 | doi-access = free | bibcode = 2010PLoSO...5.9019R }}</ref> In line with its affinity for [[5-HT1A receptor|5-HT<sub>1A</sub>]] receptors, 5-MeO-DMT is extremely potent at suppressing the firing of dorsal raphe 5-HT neurons.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Rogawski MA, Aghajanian GK | title = Serotonin autoreceptors on dorsal raphe neurons: structure-activity relationships of tryptamine analogs | journal = J Neurosci | volume = 1 | issue = 10 | pages = 1148–1154 | date = October 1981 | doi = 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.01-10-01148.1981 | pmid = 6793698 | pmc = 6564212 }}</ref> Further, its activity in rats was attenuated with the 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> selective antagonist [[WAY-100635]] while 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> selective antagonist [[volinanserin]] failed to demonstrate any change.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Krebs-Thomson K, Ruiz EM, Masten V, Buell M, Geyer MA | title = The roles of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors in the effects of 5-MeO-DMT on locomotor activity and prepulse inhibition in rats | journal = Psychopharmacology | volume = 189 | issue = 3 | pages = 319–329 | date = December 2006 | pmid = 17013638 | doi = 10.1007/s00213-006-0566-1 | s2cid = 23396616 }}</ref> Additional [[mechanism of action|mechanisms of action]] such as [[reuptake inhibitor|inhibition]] of [[monoamine]] [[reuptake]] may be involved.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Nagai F, Nonaka R, Satoh Hisashi Kamimura K | title = The effects of non-medically used psychoactive drugs on monoamine neurotransmission in rat brain | journal = European Journal of Pharmacology | volume = 559 | issue = 2–3 | pages = 132–137 | date = March 2007 | pmid = 17223101 | doi = 10.1016/j.ejphar.2006.11.075 }}</ref> A 2019 European study with 42 volunteers showed that a single inhalation produced sustained enhancement of [[satisfaction with life]], and easing of [[anxiety]], [[Mood disorder#Depressive disorders|depression]], and [[post-traumatic stress disorder]] (PTSD).<ref name=pmid30982127>{{cite journal | vauthors = Uthaug MV, Lancelotta R, van Oorsouw K, Kuypers KP, Mason N, Rak J, Šuláková A, Jurok R, Maryška M, Kuchař M, Páleníček T, Riba J, Ramaekers JG | display-authors = 6 | title = A single inhalation of vapor from dried toad secretion containing 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in a naturalistic setting is related to sustained enhancement of satisfaction with life, mindfulness-related capacities, and a decrement of psychopathological symptoms | journal = Psychopharmacology | volume = 236 | issue = 9 | pages = 2653–2666 | date = September 2019 | pmid = 30982127 | pmc = 6695371 | doi = 10.1007/s00213-019-05236-w | doi-access = free }}</ref> A 2018 study demonstrated that a single dose of 5-MeO-DMT induced [[neurogenesis]] in mice.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lima da Cruz RV, Moulin TC, Petiz LL, Leão RN | title = A Single Dose of 5-MeO-DMT Stimulates Cell Proliferation, Neuronal Survivability, Morphological and Functional Changes in Adult Mice Ventral Dentate Gyrus | journal = Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience | volume = 11 | pages = 312 | date = 2018 | pmid = 30233313 | pmc = 6131656 | doi = 10.3389/fnmol.2018.00312 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
