'''4-Acetoxy-N-ethyl-N-methyltryptamine''' (also known as '''4-AcO-MET''', '''Metacetin''' and '''Azomet''') is a novel ~~synthetic~~ [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of [[Chemical class::tryptamine]] ~~chemical~~ class that produces [[psilocybin mushroom]]-like [[psychedelic]] effects when [[routes of administration|administered]]. 4-AcO-~~MET possesses a molecular structure and pharmacological effect profile that resemble that of the [[psilocin~~]]~~-like tryptamine~~ [[4-HO-~~MET~~]] ~~('''Metocin''') which it is thought to act as a~~ [[~~prodrug~~]] ~~for~~.

'''4-Acetoxy-N-ethyl-N-methyltryptamine''' (also known as '''4-AcO-MET''', '''Metacetin''', and '''Azomet''') is a lesser-known novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of [[Chemical class::tryptamine]] class that produces [[psilocybin mushroom|psilocybin]]-like [[psychedelic]] effects when [[routes of administration|administered]]. It is structurally related to tryptamines like [[4-AcO-DMT]], [[4-AcO-DET]], and [[4-AcO-MiPT]].

~~Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of~~ 4-~~AcO~~-MET, ~~and~~ it ~~has little history of human usage.

It is closely related in structure to [[4-HO-MET]] ('''Metocin'''), for which it is theorized to act as a [[prodrug]].

Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-AcO-MET, and it has little history of human usage. It is sold as a [[research chemical]] online. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.
