4-Methyl-α-methyltryptamine (4-Me-αMT or 4-Me-AMT), also known as 4,α-dimethyltryptamine (4,α-DMT) and by its developmental code name MP-809, is an experimental antidepressant of the tryptamine and α-alkyltryptamine families. It is closely structurally related to serotonergic psychedelics and entactogens like α-methyltryptamine (αMT) and α-ethyltryptamine (αET). 4-Me-αMT was investigated as an antidepressant by Sandoz in Canada in the early 1960s, although it was never marketed.
