Dimethyltryptamine/harmine

Dimethyltryptamine/harmine is a combination of dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a tryptamine serotonin receptor agonist and serotonergic psychedelic, and harmine, a β-carboline reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA), which is under development for the treatment of mood disorders.

Dimethyltryptamine/harmine (developmental code name RE01 or RE-01) is a combination of dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a tryptamine serotonin receptor agonist and serotonergic psychedelic, and harmine, a β-carboline reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA), which is under development for the treatment of mood disorders.123

It is a form of pharmahuasca (pharmaceutical ayahuasca), in which DMT is combined with a synthetically produced monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) as opposed to a plant-derived form such as Banisteriopsis caapi as in ayahuasca.4 Harmine, acting as a RIMA, inhibits the metabolism of DMT, in turn greatly potentiating DMT and allowing it to become orally active.567

The combination is being developed by Reconnect Labs.123 As of August 2023, it is in phase 1 clinical trials.123
