3-[2-[ethyl(propyl)amino]ethyl]-1H-indol-4-ol
3-[2-[ethyl(propyl)amino]ethyl]-1H-indol-4-ol (4-HO-EPT) is a psychedelic tryptamine that exerts its effects through agonism at 5-HT2A receptors. It belongs to the class of hallucinogenic substances and exhibits typical effects such as altered perception and states of consciousness. The substance is structurally related to psilocin but features a longer alkyl chain on the amine.
