Understanding the toxicity of serotonergic tryptamines is becoming increasingly important from both clinical and forensic perspectives, yet experimental data for these compounds remain extremely limited. Despite their growing medical relevance and widespread non-medical use, there is still no systematic evaluation of their toxicological risks. This study presents the first comprehensive in...

N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a serotonergic psychedelic that produces short-lived peak effects when administered intravenously as a bolus dose. Initial trials suggested therapeutic effects of DMT in depressive disorders. However, systematic data on dose-dependent pharmacokinetics and acute effects of intravenous bolus DMT administration are currently lacking. We used a double-blind,...

We propose a decisive experimental protocol to test the hypothesis that the psychedelic state involves the radical pair mechanism (RPM) operating at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. The key insight is that the psychedelic ligand itself — N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT, C12 H16 N2 ) — is the source of the hyperfine fields driving the singlet-triplet oscillation. By synthesizing isotopically labelled...

N, N-Dimethyltryptamine (N, N-DMT) is a potent psychedelic substance whose detection is crucial in medical and forensic contexts. In this study, we computationally evaluate the potential of aluminum- and zinc-doped C20 fullerenes (AlC19 and ZnC19) as advanced sensors for N, N-DMT detection. Using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT, along with NBO, NCI, RDG, and ESP analyses,...

The discovery that xenon isotopes with non-zero nuclear spin are ∼30% less po-tent as anesthetics than spin-zero isotopes (Li et al., 2018) established a link betweenquantum spin and consciousness. Independently, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT)induces profoundly altered conscious states characterized by global hyperconnec-tivity and apparent “channel switching” (Timmermann et al., 2023;...
