4-HO-pyr-T, also known as 4-hydroxy-N,N-tetramethylenetryptamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the tryptamine and pyrrolidinylethylindole families.[1][2] It is the 4-hydroxyl analogue of pyr-T and the analogue of psilocin (4-HO-DMT) and 4-HO-DET in which the N,N-dialkyl moiety has been cyclized into a pyrrolidine ring.[2][1]

Use and effects
In his book TiHKAL, Shulgin gives the dose as ≥20 mg orally, its duration as unknown, and its onset as about 3 hours.[1] It was described as quite unlike psilocin and bordering on bizarre.[1] There were minimal visual disturbances and no alterations in colors or objects.[1] It was however said to heighten the intellectual process.[1] The drug was said to be more "stimulant-like" than hallucinogenic or psychedelic.[1] 4-HO-pyr-T was described as very unpleasant.[1]

Pharmacology
The drug has been found to interact with serotonin receptors, including the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors.[3] Its affinities (Ki) were 429 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, 423 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 275 to 1,772 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor.[3] Functional activities at these receptors were not assessed or reported.[3]
Chemistry
Derivatives and analogues of 4-HO-pyr-T, for instance analogues with an azetidine instead of pyrrolidine ring, have been synthesized and described.[4]
History
4-HO-pyr-T was first described in the scientific literature by David Repke and colleagues by 1977.[5] Its effects in humans were subsequently described by Alexander Shulgin in his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved) in 1997.[1]
