'''4-AcO-DET''' ('''4-Acetoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine''', '''ethacetin''') is a lesser-known novel [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::tryptamine]] class. It is chemically related to [[psilocin]] and part of a series of substituted tryptamines that includes 4-AcO-MET and 4-AcO-DMT. | |||
Today it is either used recreationally as a [[designer drug]] or as an [[entheogen]]ic compound and is typically acquired through the use of online [[research chemical]] vendors. | |||
There is very little data on the human pharmacology or toxicity of 4-AcO-DET, although analytical methods have been developed for its detection.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Creation and application of psychoactive designer drugs data library using liquid chromatography with photodiode array spectrophotometry detector and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry|pmid=19084633|doi=10.1016/j.talanta.2008.07.062|last1=Takahashi|first1=M.|last2=Nagashima|first2=M.|last3=Suzuki|first3=J.|last4=Yasuda|first4=I|last5=Yoshida|first5=T.|volume=77|issue=4|date=February 15, 2009|pages=1245-1272|issn=0039-9140|eissn=1873-3573|oclc=01767116}}</ref> It remains relatively rare and has very little documented history of human usage. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance. | |||

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−.

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}} | |||
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. | 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]].

*'''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' and '''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, 4-AcO-DET is typically relaxing, stoning and mildly sedating, although it can also sometimes be very stimulating and give users a "wired" feeling. This sense of sedation is often accompanied by uncontrollable yawning. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - The "body high" of 4-AcO-DET can be described as a pleasurable, warm, soft and all-encompassing tingling sensation. This maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached. Unlike other 4-substituted tryptamines, 4-AcO-DET is capable of being more stimulating and [[anxiety]]-inducing. | |||

|{{effects/cognitive| | |||
Much like its hydroxylated counterpart 4-HO-DET, the cognitive effects of 4-AcO-DET are described by many as being relatively complex and unpredictable in style when compared to other commonly used [[psychedelic]]s such as [[LSD]] or [[2C-B]] which tend to be energetic and stimulating. It contains a notable number of typical and unique psychedelic cognitive effects. | |||
The most prominent of these typical effects generally include: | |||
*'''[[Effect::Analysis enhancement]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Conceptual thinking]]''' | |||

*'''[[Effect::Enhancement and suppression cycles]]''' - This can be described as constant waves of extremely stimulated and profound thinking which are spontaneously surpassed in a cyclic fashion by waves of general thought suppression and mental intoxication.

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. | |||
However, it is assumed to have a similar toxicity profile as [[psilocybin]] due to their structural similarity. | |||

Anecdotal reports from those who have tried 4-AcO-DET suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the substance by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

Tolerance to the effects of 4-AcO-DET is built [[Time to full tolerance::almost immediately after ingestion]]. | |||
After that, it takes about [[Time to half tolerance::3 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[Time to zero tolerance::7 days]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). | |||
4-AcO-DET presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[psychedelic]]s]], meaning that after the consumption of 4-AcO-DET all psychedelics will have a reduced effect. | |||
