Chemical compound / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4-acetoxy-MET (4-acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine), also known as 4-AcO-MET or metacetin, 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 very little history of human use.[1] It is sometimes sold as a research chemical by online retailers.

Due to its similarity to the psilocin prodrug 4-AcO-DMT, which is deacetylated to form psilocin in vivo,[2][3] it is expected that 4-AcO-MET is also quickly hydrolyzed into 4-HO-MET by serum esterases, but human studies concerning the metabolic fate of this drug are lacking.
