Cover illustration: It is known that an increase in the steric bulk of the methyl group of norpsilocin (4-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine or 4-OH-NMT) influences the psychoactive effects in animal models. The synthesis and crystal structure of two such derivatives, N-ethyl-4-hydroxytryptamine (4-OH-NET) and 4-hydroxy-N-propyltryptamine (4-OH-NPT), are described. See: Naeem, Chadeayne, Golen & Manke [Acta Cryst. (2026). E82, 1082–1086].
