2,5-Dimethoxy-4-trifluoromethylamphetamine (DOTFM) is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families.[3] It is the α-methylated analogue of 2C-TFM. The drug is the most potent DOx psychedelic.[1][2]

Use and effects
According to Daniel Trachsel, DOTFM is active as a psychedelic in humans at doses of 0.3 to 1 mg (300–1,000 μg) and its duration is not listed.[1][2] It is the most potent psychedelic of the DOx family, followed by DOB (dose range 1–3 mg).[1][2]
Interactions
Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
DOTFM acts as an agonist at the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors.[3] In drug discrimination tests in rats, DOTFM fully substituted for LSD and was slightly more potent than DOI.[3] In addition, (R)-DOTFM robustly induces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents, with equivalent potency as (R)-DOI.[4] The drug is around twice as potent as 2C-TFM in animal studies.
In contrast to (R)-DOI, which has extraordinarily potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor-mediated anti-inflammatory effects,[5][6] DOTFM shows no anti-inflammatory effects.[7] The differences between the drugs in this regard appear to be due to differences in functional selectivity at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[7][4]
History
DOTFM was first synthesized in 1994 by a team at Purdue University led by David E. Nichols.[3] The threshold dose in humans was reported by Alexander Shulgin in his 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds, who cited personal communication with an anonymous individual in 2003 as the source for the information.[8][1] Subsequently, Daniel Trachsel described a wider dose range in 2013, although did not report its duration.[2]
