Aleph (also known as DOT or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylthioamphetamine) is a psychedelic hallucinogenic drug and a substituted amphetamine of the phenethylamine class of compounds, which can be used as an entheogen. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PiHKAL, Shulgin lists the dosage range as 5–10 mg.[1] According to Shulgin, the effects of aleph typically last for 6 to 8 hours.
It has weak MAO-A inhibition activity with an IC50 of 5.2 mmol. For reference, amphetamine has an IC50 of 11 mmol and 4-methylthioamphetamine has a value of 0.2 mmol.[2] A lower number indicates a stronger inhibitor.
