4-AcO-MET[edit]

4-AcO-MET, or 4-Acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine, is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the tryptamine class. It is structurally related to psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin, and is known for its psychoactive effects.

Chemical Structure[edit]

4-AcO-MET is a tryptamine derivative, characterized by the presence of an acetoxy group at the fourth position of the indole ring. Its chemical formula is C14H20N2O2, and it is a structural analog of 4-AcO-DMT, differing by the substitution of an ethyl group for a methyl group on the nitrogen atom.

Pharmacology[edit]

The pharmacological effects of 4-AcO-MET are believed to be similar to those of other serotonergic psychedelics, primarily acting as a partial agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor. This interaction is thought to be responsible for its psychedelic effects, which can include alterations in perception, mood, and cognition.

Effects[edit]

Users of 4-AcO-MET report a range of effects, including visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in thought patterns, and an altered sense of time. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.

Legal Status[edit]

The legal status of 4-AcO-MET varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others, it remains unscheduled. Users should be aware of the legal implications of possessing or using this compound in their region.
