N,N-Dimethyl-5-Methoxytryptamine (aka 5-MeO-DMT) is a psychedelic of the tryptamine class. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and a single psychoactive toad species, the Colorado River toad. Like its close relatives DMT and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America. It can also be found in the dart poison traditionally used by the Yanoama Indians of Upper Orinoco. It acts as a non-selective serotonin (5-HT) agonist. -MeO-DMT is O-demethylated by polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) to an active metabolite, bufotenine. 5-MeO-DMT is classified as a controlled substance in China, Australia, Sweden, Turkey, and the USA.

Membranes were prepared from the cerebral cortex and striatum of Male SD rats and maintained in HEPES buffer pH 7.6, 20 mM HEPES, 7 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT). Cells were plated in 96 wells containing an assay buffer of 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.6, 7 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.2 mM DTT and 10 mM DPCPX. Each well also received various concentrations screening compounds, DA, 5-HT, NE, and the mixture of brain membranes (2 mg protein/well for the striatum and 4 mg protein/well for the cortex) and 150 micro-M GDP. This mixture was pre-incubated at 30 °C for 20 minutes with shaking. Incubation was started by adding 0.1 nM [35S]GTPgS to a total volume of 100 mL and continued at 30 °C for 90 minutes with shaking. The reaction was stopped by rapid filtration and retained membrane-bound radioactivity on the filter was measured by liquid scintillation counting. 5-MeODMT was found to have an EC50 of 3.8 x 10^07 M.
