Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) derived from tryptamines has been detected in aquatic environments, leading to environmental toxicology concerns. However, the specific toxicological mechanism, underlying these NPS, remains unclear. In our previous work, we used 5-Methoxy-N-isopropyl-N-methyltryptamine (5-MeO-MiPT) as the representative drug for NPS, and found that, 5-MeO-MiPT led to obvious...
To explore the metabolites of 5-Methoxy-N-isopropyl-N-methyltryptamine (5-MeO-MiPT) and unveil its toxicological effects, we examined its metabolic profiles using zebrafish and human liver microsome models. Employing ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography Q Exactive hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-QE-HRMS), we analyzed samples from intoxicated zebrafish...
5-Methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-MiPT) is a novel psychoactive substance exhibiting a tryptamine structure. Despite its increasing prevalence, the environmental impact of 5-MeO-MiPT remains unexplored. Our prior investigation revealed that 5-MeO-MiPT induced inhibited spontaneous movement and prompted anxiety-like behavior in adult zebrafish-a validated toxicological model. To...
