NBoc-DMT
chemical compound
NBoc-DMT, or NB-DMT, also known as N1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine family. It is a novel designer and recreational drug and is a synthetic modification of dimethyltryptamine (DMT) with an N′-tert-butyloxycarbonyl (NBoc) group.
NB-DMT is said to be a "prodrug" of DMT that decomposes into DMT when the compound is heated (e.g., with smoking or vaping). It may also be useful as an orally active prodrug of DMT, unlike DMT itself which is inactive when taken orally. NB-DMT has been claimed to have about 25% of the potency of DMT by weight. It was first detected as a designer drug being sold online by February 2024.
NB-DMT is a Schedule I controlled substance in Russia. The drug is not an explicitly controlled substance in the United States or in Canada. A number of other NBoc designer drugs have also been encountered.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “NBoc-DMT” as chemical compound. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as chemical compound. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131900612. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
