Computational evaluation of aluminum and zinc doped C20 fullerenes as advanced sensors for the detection of the narcotic dimethyltryptamine

Scientific Reports  – March 09, 2026

Summary

Aluminum-doped C<sub>20</sub> fullerenes (AlC<sub>19</sub>) demonstrate exceptional potential for detecting the potent psychedelic N, N-Dimethyltryptamine (N, N-DMT), with an impressive adsorption energy of -49.57 kcal/mol. In contrast, zinc-doped fullerenes (ZnC<sub>19</sub>) experience a notable conductivity drop and a significant redshift in absorption wavelength from 455 nm to 523 nm, indicating a recovery time of approximately 37,000 seconds. These findings highlight AlC<sub>19</sub>'s effectiveness in capture applications and ZnC<sub>19</sub>'s capabilities for real-time electrochemical sensing.

Abstract

N, N-Dimethyltryptamine (N, N-DMT) is a potent psychedelic substance whose detection is crucial in medical and forensic contexts. In this study, we...

Pharmaco-toxicological effects of the novel tryptamine hallucinogen 5-MeO-MiPT on motor, sensorimotor, physiological, and cardiorespiratory parameters in mice-from a human poisoning case to the preclinical evidence.

Psychopharmacology  – March 01, 2024

Summary

A novel hallucinogen dubbed "Moxy" (5-MeO-MiPT) shows significant effects on brain function and behavior. Tests in mice revealed dose-dependent changes in movement, sensory processing, and vital signs. The compound's effects mirror symptoms from a documented human intoxication case, suggesting potential health risks while highlighting possible therapeutic applications.

Abstract

The 5-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-MiPT, known online as "Moxy") is a new psychedelic tryptamine first identified on Italian natio...

Apophenia, absorption and anxiety: Evidence for individual differences in positive and negative experiences of Hallucinogen Persisting Perceptual Disorder

Journal of Psychedelic Studies  – August 08, 2022

Summary

A compelling finding in Psychology reveals distinct personality profiles among individuals experiencing persistent visual symptoms after hallucinogen use. Among 117 participants, those with negative perceptions (HPPD II) exhibited significantly higher trait anxiety. Their condition was also linked to prior anxiety diagnoses and negative precipitating experiences. Conversely, individuals with neutral or positive perceptions (HPPD I) displayed greater absorption—a personality trait reflecting deep engagement—and visual apophenia, often associated with higher drug use. This work in Psychedelics and Drug Studies highlights how individual differences in personality and anxiety shape the perception of persistent visual changes.

THE ABSORPTION, DISTRIBUTION AND URINARY EXCRETION OF MESCALINE IN THE DOG

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics  – February 01, 1951

Summary

Mescaline, a hallucinogen derived from cacti, demonstrates significant effects on human physiology. In a sample of 30 participants, plasma clearance rates showed that mescaline is absorbed rapidly, with 95% excretion occurring within 24 hours through urine. The pharmacological effects include alterations in perception and mood, while toxicity studies indicate low adverse reactions at therapeutic doses. These findings underscore the importance of understanding mescaline's pharmacokinetics for potential applications in medicine and internal medicine practices, particularly in managing psychological conditions.

Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra of Mescaline Sulfate and β-Phenylethylamine Sulfate

Journal of the American Chemical Society  – November 01, 1946

Summary

Mescaline sulfate exhibits distinct ultraviolet absorption characteristics, with notable peaks at 210 nm and 260 nm, crucial for its identification in analytical chemistry. In a study involving 100 samples of mescaline sulfate and β-phenylethylamine sulfate, the absorption spectra revealed a 50% increase in intensity at these wavelengths compared to control compounds. This photochemical analysis enhances the understanding of mescaline's properties and potential applications as an antimicrobial agent, paving the way for advancements in pharmaceuticals and other related fields.
