Diallyltryptamine (DALT), also known as N,N-diallyltryptamine, is a tryptamine derivative which has been identified as a designer drug.[2][3]

Use and effects

[edit]

According to Alexander Shulgin in his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), the dose of DALT is greater than 40 mg orally and its duration is unknown.[1] Its effects were not described.[1] Per Stephen Szara and colleagues in much earlier publications however, DALT and other extended N,N-dialkyltryptamines produce similar effects to dimethyltryptamine (DMT) but are longer-lasting, with durations of up to 3 hours.[1][4][5]

Notes: The smaller the value, the more avidly the drug binds to the site. All proteins are human unless otherwise specified. Refs:[6][7][8][9]

The receptor interactions of DALT have been studied.[6][7][8][9] The drug produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[10]

Chemistry

[edit]

DALT has been used as an intermediate in the preparation of radiolabeled diethyltryptamine (DET).[11]

Synthesis

[edit]

The chemical synthesis of DALT has been described.[1]

Analogues

[edit]

Analogues of DALT include 4-HO-DALT, 4-AcO-DALT, 5-MeO-DALT, methylallyltryptamine (MALT), propylallyltryptamine (PALT), and isopropylallyltryptamine (iPALT), among others.[1]

History

[edit]

DALT was first described in the scientific literature by Stephen Szara and colleagues by 1962.[4][5]

Society and culture

[edit]

Canada

[edit]

DALT is not an explicitly nor implicitly controlled substance in Canada as of 2025.[12]

United States

[edit]

DALT is not an explicitly controlled substance in the United States.[13] However, it could be considered a controlled substance under the Federal Analogue Act if intended for human consumption.
