4-AcO-MALT, also known as 4-acetoxy-N-methyl-N-allyltryptamine, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family.[1][2][3] It is the acetate ester of 4-HO-MALT.[1][2][3]

Use and effects

Interactions

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

4-AcO-MALT is assumed to act as a prodrug of the serotonergic psychedelic 4-HO-MALT.[1] 4-HO-MALT is a serotonin receptor modulator, including acting as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors.[2] The receptor interactions of 4-AcO-MALT have also been studied.[2][3]

Chemistry

Analogues

Analogues of 4-AcO-MALT include methylallyltryptamine (MALT), 4-HO-MALT (maltocin), 5-MeO-MALT, 4-AcO-DMT (psilacetin), 4-AcO-MET (metacetin), 4-AcO-MPT, 4-AcO-MiPT (mipracetin), and 4-AcO-DALT, among others.

History

4-AcO-MALT was first described in the scientific literature by at least 2021.[1] It has been encountered as a novel designer drug.[4][5]
