Serotonergic psychedelics, such as N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), have shown therapeutic potential in various psychiatric disorders. However, DMT demonstrates pharmacokinetic (PK) variability and a short half-life. This exploratory study investigated the PK, pharmacodynamic (PD), and safety profile of CYB004, a deuterated DMT analogue, following intravenous administration in healthy volunteers....

BACKGROUND: -dimethyltryptamine (DMT) might have therapeutic effects in various psychiatric disorders. AIMS: Prior to exploring this clinical potential, it is essential to determine an optimal administration regimen for DMT, explore the relationship between its pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics and identify potential sources of pharmacokinetic variability. METHODS: Therefore, DMT was...

The serotonergic psychedelic N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) presumably stimulates neuroplasticity in vitro and in vivo, by which it may exert neuroprotective effects during acute ischemic stroke. Since neuroplasticity has been implicated in the mechanism of action of rehabilitative therapy in stroke recovery, a pharmacological augmentation strategy facilitating neuroplasticity could be...

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is currently being studied for its therapeutic potential in various psychiatric disorders. An understanding of its pharmacokinetics (PK) is essential to determine appropriate dose ranges in future clinical studies. We conducted a systematic literature review on the PK of DMT. Clinical studies that administered known amounts of DMT and reported PK data and/or...
