4-AcO-MALT, or 4-acetoxy-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]

Contents

The drug 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]

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