5-Methyltryptamine (5-MeT, 5-Me-T) is a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and serotonin releasing agent of the tryptamine family that has been used in scientific research. It is related to other 5-substituted tryptamines such as serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeO-T). The compound is also a positional isomer of N-methyltryptamine (NMT).
