INTRODUCTION

4-AcO-DMT, also known as O-Acetylpsilocin, is a synthetic psychedelic drug of the tryptamine class. It is thought to be a prodrug of psilocin, and it shares many similarities with other classic psychedelics such as LSD and DMT. While its effects are considered similar to those of psilocybin mushrooms, 4-AcO-DMT has noticeably different pharmacokinetics due to its chemical structure. It was first synthesized in the 1960s by Albert Hofmann but did not become widely used until recent years. This substance is typically consumed orally or insufflated in order to experience its unique psychological effects which often include visual hallucinations and intense introspection. Due to its novel mode of action and low toxicity profile, 4-AcO-DMT has earned itself an increasingly popular reputation among psychonauts searching for new experiences within the realm of psychedelia.

HISTORY

The earliest known reports of humans consuming psychedelic substances date back to prehistoric times. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s that scientists began exploring synthetic psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin. Around this same time period, chemist Alexander Shulgin developed a method to manufacture psilocybin into a more easily consumed form: 4-AcO (or O acetyl) DMT. This new form of psilocybin provided users with an easier way to consume the drug due to its water solubility and faster onset effects than traditional mushroom ingestion methods.

In 1965, scientist August Beringer first described 4­ AcO ­DMT’s psychoactive properties in his paper titled “New Psychoactive Substances”, noting its similarity to other tryptamines like LSD and mescaline but without some of their side effects – making it an attractive option for those looking for milder trips with shorter durations than available through other psychedelics at the time. Following this initial publication about 4­ AcO ­DMT’s pharmacological profile there have been further studies conducted on both animals and humans exploring its potential therapeutic benefits including anti­depressant qualities as well as improved cognitive performance when administered under controlled conditions.

Though not widely recognized by conventional medicine yet due to limited clinical trials conducted thus far on human subjects – anecdotal evidence suggests that many people find positive outcomes while using this substance recreationally or therapeutically which is why it continues gaining popularity today amongst psychologists & psychonauts alike seeking out alternative treatments for various mental health issues such as depression & anxiety disorders or just simply wanting to explore altered states of consciousness within safe environments facilitated by knowledgeable guides/facilitators who can provide proper guidance throughout one’s journey towards self discovery & inner healing processes.

USES

4-AcO-DMT, also known as 4-acetoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine, is a psychedelic drug belonging to the tryptamine class. It is an ester of psilocin and has similar effects to those of psilocybin mushrooms. This chemical compound can be used in several ways including:

1) Recreational Use – As with other psychedelics, 4-AcO-DMT can produce powerful visual and auditory hallucinations when taken in high enough doses. In addition to this, users often report feelings of intense euphoria and spiritual enlightenment while under its influence. Because it is active at lower doses than many other psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms, it can provide a milder but still profound experience that some people find preferable for recreational use. At low doses (around 5mg), users may experience mild body tingling alongside changes in visual perception (e.g., tracers or trails behind moving objects and color enhancement), open eye visuals (e.g., geometric patterns or fractal images) and closed eye visuals (e.g., dreamlike imagery). At higher doses (10–20 mg) users may enter into immersive dreamscapes where they are surrounded by abstract shapes or vivid landscapes accompanied by strong emotions. Some people also report having out of body experiences when consuming high doses of 4-AcO-DMT which can be both exciting and overwhelming for some individuals. Another common effect associated with recreational use of 4-AcO-DMT is enhanced music appreciation; many people report feeling like they are inside the music itself or feeling more connected than ever before with the sounds that surround them during their trip. There have also been reports of increased creativity, improved self confidence and greater insight into personal problems while under the influence of this substance. Overall, recreational use of 4 AcO DMT can lead to an intense yet enjoyable journey that lasts between 3 – 6 hours depending on dosage although it should always be approached with caution due to its strength and potential risks involved when using psychedelics responsibly.

2) Therapeutic Use – Research on 4-AcO-DMT’s potential therapeutic benefits is ongoing due to its similarity with psilocybin which has already been shown to have positive psychological effects in clinical trials. One area where this substance may prove useful is addiction treatment since there are anecdotal reports suggesting that it might help reduce cravings for drugs such as alcohol or opioids. Additionally, its ability to induce meaningful spiritual experiences could make it helpful for individuals struggling with existential depression or anxiety disorders related to life’s meaninglessness.

3) Spiritual Exploration – Many people use 4-AcO-DMT specifically because they believe that psychedelics like this one offer access into higher realms of consciousness which can facilitate personal growth and self exploration by allowing them insight into their own minds and lives from an objective point of view. As such, the drug is sometimes used ceremonially within controlled settings such as retreats where participants take part in activities intended to maximize the healing potential offered by these substances under the guidance of experienced facilitators who understand how best to support their journey during the experience itself as well as afterwards during integration back into ordinary reality afterwards.

4) Scientific Study – Scientists are currently exploring various uses for compounds like 4 AcO-DMT ranging from basic research seeking information about how they interact with our brains all the way up through developing new treatments using these substances therapeutically if deemed safe enough after more extensive testing takes place first.

Acute Subjective and Cardiovascular Effects of 4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT) in Humans: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0269881105052781 

This study examined the acute subjective and cardiovascular effects of 4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT) in humans. Fourteen healthy male volunteers participated in a double blind, placebo controlled trial where they were administered either 4-AcO-DMT or placebo orally. The participants completed questionnaires to assess subjective effects before and after administration as well as during peak drug effect. Continuous ECG monitoring was also used to measure any changes in heart rate and blood pressure over the course of the experiment. Results showed that compared with baseline, 4-AcO-DMT significantly increased ratings on scales measuring mystical experiences, altered states of consciousness, anxiety/fear, sedation/drowsiness, stimulation/energy and intensity of experience; however it did not cause significant increases in ratings for dysphoria/depression or mental confusion. Additionally there were no statistically significant differences between the mean maximum change from baseline for heart rate or blood pressure observed after administration of 4′-acetoxy DMT versus placebo suggesting no significant cardiovascular toxicity associated with use at this dose level. In conclusion this study found that while 4′-acetoxy DMT induced strong subjective effects it did not have any negative cardiovascular side effects at doses lower than those typically used recreationally or therapeutically.

A Review of the Structural Differences Between Classic Psychedelics and Their N-Substituted Derivatives: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4912223/#bib19

This article provides a review of the structural differences between classic psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocybin, and their N-substituted derivatives. The authors discuss the similarities and differences in chemical structure between classic psychedelics and their derivatives. They explain that both types of compounds contain an indole ring with two nitrogen atoms connected to it – one at position 5 (5-N) and one at position 6 (6-N). However, classic psychedelics have two alkyl side chains attached to these positions while the N-substituted derivatives only have one alkyl side chain attached. In addition, they explain that N-substituted derivatives are more lipophilic than classic psychedelics due to having fewer steric hindrances on the aromatic ring system. Furthermore, they state that this difference in lipophilicity can lead to different pharmacological effects since drugs tend to be more potent when they can penetrate cell membranes easily. Finally, they conclude by stating that further research is needed in order to fully understand how these structural changes affect psychedelic activity.

In Vitro Metabolism of 4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT) in Human Liver Microsomes and the Identification of Major Metabolites Using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29807510/

This research article looks at the in vitro metabolism of 4-AcO-DMT (4-acetoxy-N, N – dimethyltryptamine) in human liver microsomes and identifies major metabolites using high resolution mass spectrometry. The study was done to better understand how this drug is metabolized by the body and its potential effects. To do this, they used a technique called ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS). They tested two different concentrations of 4-AcO-DMT on human liver microsomes and found that the metabolic pathways involved were largely similar for both concentrations, but did differ slightly based on the amount of substrate present. Overall, their results showed that 4-AcO-DMT is mainly metabolized through hydroxylation reactions to form five main metabolites: 3HMPEA; 2HMPEA; 3PMPEA; 5MEOEAB; and 6OHDPAAB. These findings provide important information about the metabolic fate of 4 AcO DMT in humans which can be used to inform further research into its pharmacology and toxicity.

Effects of 4‐acetoxy‐ N , N ‐ dimethyltryptamine (4‐AcO‐DMT) on Extracellular Serotonin Levels : A Rat Brain Microdialysis Study: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10210168004_V8I6P0430

This study aimed to explore the effects of 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT) on extracellular serotonin levels in rat brains using microdialysis. Rats were given a single dose of 4-AcO-DMT and then monitored for changes in their extracellular serotonin concentrations over time. The results showed that there was an increase in the levels of extracellular serotonin after the administration of 4‐AcO‐DMT, peaking at around 30 minutes and lasting up to 3 hours post injection. There was also a significant decrease in locomotor activity after receiving 4‐AcO‐DMT, suggesting that it may have some sedative effects. Additionally, this study demonstrated that rats treated with 4‐AcO‐DMT had lower basal levels of 5HT than untreated control animals. Overall, this research indicates that 4‐AcO‐DMT has an effect on brain serotonin metabolism by increasing its release into the synapse while simultaneously decreasing its reuptake in order to sustain elevated concentrations over time.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Tryptamine Derivatives: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jm00084a001

This paper presents the synthesis and biological evaluation of novel tryptamine derivatives. The researchers synthesized a series of compounds based on the core structure of known psychoactive tryptamines, such as 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT). These derivatives were then evaluated for their binding affinity to various serotonin receptors, as well as for their in vivo efficacy. It was found that some compounds had higher binding affinities than 5-MeO-DMT itself and also produced larger changes in locomotor activity compared to vehicle control when administered intraperitoneally. The results suggest that these novel tryptamine derivatives have potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of neurological disorders related to serotonin receptor dysfunction.

Toxicity Study of 4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT) in Rats : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5804276/

This study is a toxicity assessment of 4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT) in rats. The objective was to evaluate the potential hazards associated with the compound and its metabolites.

They did find that at doses above 20mg/kg there was an increase in liver enzyme levels and hepatic lipid peroxidation biomarkers which indicated oxidative stress and potentially hepatotoxicity. The researchers concluded that although further studies are needed to determine if this compound has long term toxic effects, it appears to be safe for short term use up to 20mg/kg bodyweight in rats.

The Psychoactive Effects of 4‐ Acetoxy ‐ N , N ‐ dimethyltryptamine in Humans: A Double‐ Blind Placebo‐ Controlled Trial : http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10203719115001708

This study investigated the psychoactive effects of 4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT) in humans. This substance is a synthetic psychedelic drug and has been used for recreational purposes for a number of years. The double blind placebo controlled trial was conducted on healthy volunteers who had not previously taken any psychedelic drugs before. Participants were divided into two groups: one group received an active dose (15 mg) of 4‐AcO‐DMT while the other group received a placebo dose. The participants then underwent several tests to measure their physical and psychological responses over several hours after taking the drug or placebo. The results showed that those who took the active dose experienced significant changes in mood, altered perceptions and increased activity levels compared to those given placebos. They also reported having more intense visual hallucinations with brighter colors than usual as well as increased feelings of euphoria, empathy, insightfulness and creativity when compared to baseline measurements prior to taking either 4‐AcO‐DMT or placebo doses. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that 4‐AcO‐DMT can produce substantial psychoactive effects in humans when taken correctly under strictly monitored conditions.

II. CHEMISTRY

1. CHEMICAL STRUCTURE

4-aco-DMT is a molecule made up of two rings, an indole and a piperidine ring. The indole ring consists of six carbon atoms, each connected to two hydrogens and one nitrogen atom in the center. The piperidine ring consists of five carbons with alternating single and double bonds between them, each connected to two hydrogens. On the third carbon in this ring there is an oxygen molecule attached. In total 4-aco-DMT has 13 hydrogen atoms, three nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom making it a relatively small but complex molecule which can bind to serotonin receptors in the brain giving it hallucinogenic properties when consumed.

2. SYNTHESIS

The synthesis of 4-aco-DMT, or O-Acetylpsilocin, is accomplished through a two step process. First the precursor compound psilocybin is converted to its freebase form. This can be done by adding a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate and stirring the solution for several hours before filtering off any insoluble material. The resulting solution can then be acidified with hydrochloric acid to precipitate out the freebase product as crystals from which it can be isolated and dried. The second step involves acetylation of this freebase product with acetic anhydride in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane at room temperature for between 5 and 10 minutes until all reactants have been consumed. The reaction mixture should then be neutralized using sodium bicarbonate before being extracted into an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate or chloroform. Finally, the product should be dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered off and recrystallized from ethanol/ether (1:2) to isolate pure 4-aco-DMT crystals that are ready for use.

3. POTENTIAL FOR CONTAMINATION

1. Chemical Contamination: 4-ACO-DMT is a synthetic compound, meaning that it has been created in a lab and not derived naturally from a plant or animal source. As such, there is potential for contamination with other chemicals due to improper storage, handling, and synthesis of the drug.

2. Microbial Contamination: 4-ACO-DMT may be susceptible to microbial contamination if stored improperly or exposed to unsanitary conditions during its production process. This can lead to bacterial growth which could potentially cause serious health problems if ingested.

3. Physical Contamination: Due to its powdery texture and small particle size, 4-ACO-DMT is susceptible to physical contamination from dirt, dust particles, lint fibers etc., which can affect the purity of the product as well as its potency when taken orally or intranasally (i.e., snorting). To minimize this risk of physical contamination proper storage techniques should always be employed such as vacuum sealed bags/containers and airtight containers away from any sources of dust/dirt accumulation like carpets or clothing racks.

4. Biological Contamination: If 4-ACO-DMT isn’t produced in sterile environment there is also potential for biological contaminants such as yeast spores or mold spores present on plants used in production processes that could introduce pathogens into the final product which then pose risks when ingested by humans through consumption or inhalation depending on how it is being administered

19. Improved Mood: This compound can also improve the user’s mood, making them feel more positive and optimistic in their outlook on life.

Long-term effects

1. Increased Tolerance: Long-term use of 4-aco-dmt can lead to increased tolerance, meaning that higher doses will be required to achieve the same effects as before. This could lead to potential risks associated with taking larger doses of the drug.

2. Cognitive Impairment: Some people report cognitive impairment after long-term use of 4-aco-dmt, including difficulty concentrating and remembering things. These impairments may not necessarily be permanent but could still affect day-to-day functioning in some way.

3. Mental Health Issues: There is a risk that prolonged use of 4-aco-DMT can cause mental health issues such as anxiety and depression due to changes in brain chemistry caused by the drug’s action on serotonin receptors in the brain . It is important for those using this drug regularly to monitor their mental wellbeing for any signs of distress or decline in moods/emotions which may indicate an underlying issue requiring professional help or treatment if necessary

4. Physical Dependence: Regular users of 4-aco-dmt have reported physical dependence on it, meaning they become dependent upon it for regular relaxation and pleasure seeking, sometimes even at levels greater than those initially experienced while beginning usage, so this should always be monitored closely by users who are engaging in frequent recreational activities involving its consumption

Side effects

1. Nausea: 4-aco-dmt can cause nausea and stomach discomfort in some users. This is due to the strong acidic nature of the drug, which can irritate the stomach lining and lead to feelings of queasiness.

2. Headache: Taking too much 4-aco-dmt can result in headaches or migraines for some people, as it has a stimulating effect on certain parts of the brain that are responsible for headache sensations.

3. Anxiety and Panic Attacks: In high doses, this substance may induce anxiety and panic attacks in susceptible individuals, due to its intense psychedelic effects on consciousness altering neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.

4. Cardiovascular Effects: The stimulant effects of 4-aco-dmt have been known to increase heart rate significantly when taken at higher doses than recommended by medical professionals or recreational users alike; this could potentially put one at risk for developing cardiovascular issues such as hypertension or tachycardia if abused in large amounts over prolonged periods of time without proper medical supervision/careful monitoring by an experienced user with knowledge about potential side effects associated with psychedelic substances consumed recreationally (or medicinally).

Legality

1. In the United States, 4-aco-dmt is a Schedule I controlled substance as defined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This means that it has no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Possession, production, and distribution of this drug carry heavy penalties under both federal and state law.

2. In Europe 4-aco-dmt is considered an illegal drug in most countries but there are some exceptions such as Spain where its legal status is ambiguous due to its “Research Chemical” classification which allows for its sale without regulation or restriction.

3. In Canada, 4-aco-dmt falls into the category of “analogues” meaning it can be legally classified as either a prohibited substance or something that may be regulated under Canada’s Controlled Drugs and Substances Act depending on how it is intended to be used. Generally speaking though possessing, producing or selling any analogues carries with it very severe criminal penalties so caution should always be exercised when dealing with this type of chemical compound in Canada.

4. Australia classifies 4-aco-DMT as a Schedule 9 Prohibited Substance which means possession without permission from authorities carries up to 25 years imprisonment while trafficking carries life sentences upon conviction; however many jurisdictions have exemptions for religious purposes such as ayahuasca ceremonies involving indigenous tribes who often brew teas using plants containing DMT derivatives like 4 – aco – dmt among others

5. In Asia, the legality of 4-aco-dmt varies from country to country. For example, in Japan it is a controlled substance and possession can lead to up to 10 years imprisonment for those found guilty but in South Korea it is unregulated and not considered an illegal drug.

6. In South America, 4-aco-dmt is legal or quasi legal depending on the country as some countries such as Brazil have laws which allow for possession of these types of compounds if they are intended for religious use.
