5-Chloro-α-methyltryptamine (5-Chloro-αMT), also known as PAL-542, is a tryptamine derivative related to α-methyltryptamine (αMT) and one of only a few known serotonin–dopamine releasing agents (SDRAs).[1][2] It is also a potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist and hence may be a serotonergic psychedelic.[1] The drug has been investigated in animals as a potential treatment for cocaine dependence.[2]
