1-Benzoyl-DMT, also known as "DMT benzamide" or as 1-benzoyl-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family related to dimethyltryptamine (DMT).[2][3][1] It is the 1-benzoyl derivative of DMT.[2][1] The drug is a prodrug of DMT with modified pharmacokinetic properties compared to DMT in rodents.[2][3][1] It is assumed to be cleaved into DMT by amidase enzymes.[1] Various analogues of 1-benzoyl-DMT that are likewise DMT or 5-MeO-DMT prodrugs have also been described and have shown widely varying pharmacokinetic parameters, for instance half-life.[2][3][1][4] 1-Benzoyl-DMT was first described in the literature in a patent by Terran Biosciences in 2023.[2][3][1] It has been one of the major prodrug compounds highlighted from the patent.[2][3][1]

Parent DMT and 5-MeO−DMT suffer from inherent pharmacokinetic limitations: DMT has an ultrashort half-life (t1/2 = 8−13 min in mice) and is orally inactive without MAOI coadministration, while 5-MeO−DMT also requires MAOI to achieve meaningful oral exposure. To overcome these barriers, Terran Biosciences has developed proprietary prodrugs designed for single oral dosing that bypass first-pass metabolism and subsequently potentially improve CNS delivery after bioconversion (WO2023283364A2).50 Preclinical data demonstrate the success of this approach: oral administration of a DMT prodrug (compound Exp. 2−17, 10 mg/kg) in rats achieved a t1/2 of 1.24 h [10.3 h] for DMT, whereas parent DMT given orally is essentially inactive without MAOI coadministration. Similarly, a 5-MeO−DMT prodrug (Exp. 2− 19, 10 mg/kg) yielded a Cmax of 106 ng/mL, and a t1/2 of 2.02 h for 5-MeO−DMT.50

In addition to psilocin, DMT and 5-MeO-DMT have been made into prodrugs despite lacking the 4-hydroxyl group attach- ment point. In one approach, the -1H position of the indole moi- ety has been successfully utilized in formation of DMT/5-MeO-DMT prodrugs including carbamate, aminal/hemi- aminal, phosphoramidate, amide, and urea prodrugs (e.g., see Ala-1H DMT and Ala-1H 5-MeO-DMT in Table 2 (Alexander et al., 2024)).
