MiPT
chemical compound
Methylisopropyltryptamine (MiPT), also known as N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family related to other psychedelics like dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and diisopropyltryptamine (DiPT). It is taken orally.
The drug acts as a serotonin receptor modulator, including as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. Derivatives of MiPT include 4-HO-MiPT (miprocin) and 5-MeO-MiPT (moxy).
MiPT was first described by David Repke and colleagues in 1981. It was subsequently evaluated and described in Alexander Shulgin's 1997 book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved). MiPT was encountered as a novel designer drug by 2005.
Use and effects
In his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists MiPT's dose as 10 to 25 mg orally and its duration as 3 to 4 hours. A dose of 20 mg by insufflation was also reported. Its onset orally was reported to be 30 minutes and peak effects occurred at 1 hour.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “MiPT” 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.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3491377. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1981, 1997 and 2005.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. 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.
- Current terminology
- Classification context
- Finding cited technical literature
Primary datasets, specimen catalogues, standards bodies and the most recent peer-reviewed literature.
Three-step research path
- Establish the record: confirm the title “MiPT”, its source revision and the description used here.
- Expand the search: follow MiPT primary sources, MiPT archive and MiPT research across catalogues and specialist indexes.
- Test the account: compare the strongest cited source with the responsible institution’s current record and note any disagreement.
Questions for further research
