Summary

A case study details a non-fatal ingestion of 5-ethoxy-diisopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-DIPT), colloquially known as Foxy. The patient experienced sensory hallucinations and paranoia, with 5-MeO-DIPT and its metabolites detected in urine and serum.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Pharmacology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • 5-ethoxy-diisopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-DIPT), or Foxy, is a hallucinogenic substance.
  • Understanding the toxicological profile and human effects of novel psychoactive substances is crucial.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old male presented with formication and paranoia after ingesting 5-MeO-DIPT.
  • Symptoms were sensory rather than visual or auditory hallucinations.
  • The patient received supportive care and was discharged without sequelae.

Findings:

  • Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry confirmed 5-MeO-DIPT in serum (0.14 microg/mL) and urine (1.6 microg/mL).
  • Metabolites including 5-methoxy-indole acetic acid, 5-methoxy-isopropyltryptamine, 5-methoxy-diisopropyltryptamine-N'-oxide, and 5-hydroxy-diisopropyltryptamine were identified in urine.

  • Only the parent drug, 5-MeO-DIPT, was detected in serum.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the sensory-altering effects of 5-MeO-DIPT.
    • Provides valuable data on the detection and metabolism of 5-MeO-DIPT in human biological samples.
    • Contributes to the forensic toxicology database for novel psychoactive substances.
