In August 2019, Chadeayne et al. solved the crystal structure of MiPT fumarate. Its systematic name is
-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethylmethyl)propan-2-ylazanium 3-carboxyprop-2-enoate. The salt consists of a protonated tryptammonium cation and a 3-carboxyacrylate (hydrogen fumarate) anion in the asymmetric unit.
