HOT-x (psychedelics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from HOT-x)
HOT-2, a psychedelic drug of the HOT-x group.[1][2]

HOT-x, also known as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(β-alkylthio)-N-hydroxyphenethylamines, are a group of psychedelic drugs of the phenethylamine and 2C families.[1][2] They have a hydroxy group (HO) at the amine as well as methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions and an alkylthio (T) group at the 4 position of the phenyl ring.[1][2] The HOT-x drugs are the N-hydroxyl analogues of the corresponding 2C-T-x drugs.[1][2] They were synthesized and tested by Alexander Shulgin and reported in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved).[1][2]

List of HOT-x drugs

[edit]

The HOT-x drugs include the following:[1][2]

  • HOT-2 (2,5-dimethoxy-4-(β-ethylthio)-N-hydroxyphenethylamine) – the HOT-x analogue of 2C-T-2[1][2]
  • HOT-7 (2,5-dimethoxy-4-(β-propylthio)-N-hydroxyphenethylamine) – the HOT-x analogue of 2C-T-7[1][2]
  • HOT-17 (2,5-dimethoxy-4-(β-isobutylthio)-N-hydroxyphenethylamine) – the HOT-x analogue of 2C-T-17[1][2]

All three of the HOT-x drugs produce psychedelic effects according to Shulgin.[1][2] HOT-x drugs are said to be very similar to their 2C-T counterparts and might act as prodrugs to these compounds.[2]
