5-MeO-NET, also known as 5-methoxy-N-ethyltryptamine, is a serotonin receptor agonist and serotonin releasing agent of the tryptamine family.[1][2][3]

It is a potent full agonist or near-full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors.[1][2] The drug is a relatively weak serotonin releasing agent.[2]
It does not produce the head-twitch response (HTR), a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents, suggesting that it would not be hallucinogenic in humans.[1] However, 5-MeO-NET does produce the HTR if it is coadministered with a serotonin 5-HT1A receptor antagonist like WAY-100635, suggesting that its serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonism masks or blocks its own serotonin 5-HT2A receptor-mediated HTR induction.[1]
5-MeO-NET was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1994.[3] It was never mentioned by Alexander Shulgin in his 1997 book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved).[4]
