4-Acetoxy-DET
Encyclopedia
4-Acetoxy-DET also known as ethacetin, ethylacybin or 4-AcO-DET is a hallucinogenic
tryptamine
. It was first synthesized in 1958 by Albert Hofmann
in the Sandoz
lab.
It is expected that the compound is quickly hydrolyzed
into the free phenolic 4-HO-DET
by serum esterases, but human studies concerning the metabolic fate of this drug are lacking.
is also active when smoked in a dose range of 5–20 mg. Smoking 4-acetoxy-DET greatly speeds up the onset; peak
effects are experienced within 10 minutes, and are usually over within 1 hour.
if intent to consume can be proven because of its structural similarities to DET
