Norpsilocin (4-HO-NMT) is a tryptamine alkaloid recently discovered in 2017 in the psychedelic mushroom Psilocybe cubensis.[1][2] It is hypothesized to be a dephosphorylated metabolite of baeocystin.[2] Norpsilocin was found to be a near full agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor. It is also more potent than psilocin.[3][4]
