Use and effects
In his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists the dose of MBT as 250 to 400 mg orally and the duration as 4 to 6 hours.[1] MBT produces a heavy body load with dehydration, and causes visuals similar to those of DMT.[1] Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MBT.[1]

Chemistry
Synthesis
The chemical synthesis of MBT has been described.[1]
Analogues
Analogues of MBT include 4-HO-MBT, 5-MeO-MBT, methylethyltryptamine (MET), methylpropyltryptamine (MPT), methylisopropyltryptamine (MiPT), methylallyltryptamine (MALT), among others.[1]
MSBT
TiHKAL mentions that a structural isomer of MBT exists, with the butyl group attached at the nitrogen atom.[1] It is known as N-sec-butyl-N-methyltryptamine, or MSBT.[1] However, little is known about its psychoactivity.[1]
