all of the tryptamines, including DMT but with the exception of psilocin, were more potent agonists at the 5-HT2A receptor than LSD in the assay that was used in the present study. LSD and psilocin were 5-HT2A receptor partial agonists, with 28% and 16% activation efficacy, respectively, whereas all of the other compounds presented higher 5-HT2A receptor activation efficacies (up to >80% for DiPT and 5-MeO-MiPT). DMT has 40 maximal receptor activation.
