4-AcO-DET, or 4-Acetoxy-N.N-diethyltryptamine, is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the [[tryptamine]] class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R<sub>3</sub> to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-AcO-DET is substituted at R<sub>4</sub> of its indole heterocycle with an acetoxy (AcO) functional group CH<sub>3</sub>COO−. It also contains isopropyl and methyl chains bound to the terminal amine R<sub>N</sub> of its tryptamine backbone ([[DET]]).

Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R<sub>3</sub> to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-AcO-DET is substituted at R<sub>4</sub> of its indole heterocycle with an acetoxy (AcO) functional group CH<sub>3</sub>COO−. It also contains two ethyl chains bound to the terminal amine R<sub>N</sub> of its tryptamine backbone ([[DET]]).  


4-AcO-DET is the N-substituted diethyl homolog of [[4-HO-DMT]] (psilocin). 4-AcO-DET is the acetate ester analog of [[DET]] and the N-substituted diethyl analog of [[4-AcO-DMT]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/24801867|title=Compound Summary - 3-(2-(Diethylamino)ethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl acetate|website=PubChem|access-date=July 18, 2020}}</ref> It is a higher homolog of [[4-AcO-DMT]] and [[4-AcO-MET]].

4-substituted acetylated tryptamines such as [[4-AcO-DET]], 4-AcO-MET, and 4-AcO-DMT are hypothesized to principally act as a prodrug for their respective hydrolyzed counterparts (e.g. [[4-HO-DMT]], [[4-HO-MET]] and [[4-HO-DET]]). In theory, they would become inactive until they are deacetylated in the body, although there is on-going discussion as to whether they might display their own intrinsic activity.{{citation needed}}

4-substituted acetylated tryptamines such as 4-AcO-DET, [[4-AcO-MET]], and [[4-AcO-DMT]] are hypothesized to principally act as a [[prodrug]] for their respective hydrolyzed counterparts (e.g. [[4-HO-DMT]], [[4-HO-MET]] and [[4-HO-DET]]).

Like with most [[psychedelic]] tryptamines, 4-AcO-DET is thought to act principally as a [[Serotonin#The_5-HT_system|5-HT<sub>2A</sub>]] [[Agonist#Agonists|partial agonist]]. The psychedelic effects are believed to come from 4-AcO-DET's binding efficacy at the 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptors.

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 4-AcO-DET has not been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]].  
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 4-AcO-DET has not been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]].  
This is because 4-AcO-DET is a [[research chemical]] with a very limited history of human usage.
