N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring classical hallucinogen with significant affinity at 17 known receptor sites. It has also been classified as an endogenous hallucinogen. The vast majority of research on DMT has been targeting its psychotropic properties and serotonergic activity with less focus on its effects beyond the nervous system and at other receptor molecules. The recent discovery that DMT is an endogenous ligand of the sigma-1 receptor may shed light on yet undiscovered physiological and therapeutic mechanisms of DMT action and reveal some of its putative biological functions. Since the sigma-1 receptor has extensive role in mitigation of several form of intracellular stress such as mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum and oxidative stress, protects against apoptotic cell death, and regulates immune processes, one may suppose similar effects after DMT administration. In the presentation, we will overview the literature on the effects of sigma-1 receptor ligands on cellular bioenergetics in focus of ischemic-hypoxic injury. Ischemia/reperfusion is a complex phenomenon with mechanisms underlying organ transplantation, stroke, myocardial infarct, cardiac surgery, general brain hypoxia and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We conclude that the function of DMT may extend central nervous activity and involve a more universal role in cellular protective mechanisms. We will also address the undesirable mental effects of psychedelic compounds with focus on egoinflation, spiritual narcissism (messianism), spiritual bypassing, identity diffusion, spiritual materialism, ritual addiction, and obsessions.N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring classical hallucinogen with significant affinity at 17 known receptor sites.
