5-Chloro-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-chloro-DMT or 5-Cl-DMT) is a tryptamine derivative related to compounds such as 5-bromo-DMT and 5-fluoro-DMT. It acts as a serotonin receptor agonist and has primarily sedative effects in animal studies. It is known to have affinity for and to act as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT_1A, 5-HT_2A, and 5-HT_2C receptors. It produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents. The compound has been sold as a designer drug.
