4-Acetoxy-MET (4-Acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine), also known as metacetin or 4-AcO-MET, is a hallucinogenic tryptamine. It is the acetate ester of 4-HO-MET, and a homologue of 4-AcO-DMT. It is a novel compound with no history of human use (except for all the people that have used it).
It is expected that the compound is quickly hydrolyzed into the free phenolic 4-HO-MET by serum esterases, but human studies concerning the metabolic fate of this drug are lacking. To date, no study can conclusively say whether this compound is active at all.
4-Acetoxy-MET is unscheduled in the United States, but possession and sales of 4-Acetoxy-MET could possibly be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act if intent to consume can be proven because of its structural similarities to psilocin.
