BK-5Cl-NM-AMT, orβk-5Cl-NM-αMT, also known asβ-keto-5-chloro-N-methyl-αMT orα,N-dimethyl-5-chloro-β-ketotryptamine, is amonoamine releasing agent of thetryptamine,α-alkyltryptamine, andβ-ketotryptamine families.[1]
It is known to induce the release ofserotonin anddopamine, with respectiveEC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration values of 200 nM and 865 nM in rat brainsynaptosomes, whereasnorepinephrine release was not reported.[1] In contrast to many other tryptamines, the drug is inactive as anagonist ofserotonin receptors including the5-HT1,5-HT2, and5-HT3 receptors.[1] In addition, unlike other α-alkyltryptamines likeα-methyltryptamine (αMT), it is inactive as amonoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI).[1]
BK-5Cl-NM-AMT was first described in the literature by 2023.[1] It waspatented byMatthew Baggott andTactogen as a potential novelentactogen.[1] BK-5Cl-NM-AMT is the 5-chloroderivative ofBK-NM-AMT.[1][2][3][4] Otheranalogues of the drug includeBK-5F-NM-AMT andBK-5Br-NM-AMT.[1]
