Premium 4-AcO-MET Powder – Laboratory Grade Research Chemical
biosynlab supplies pharmaceutical-grade 4-AcO-MET Powder for sophisticated scientific research and analytical applications. As a trusted vendor of acetylated tryptamines to laboratories across the USA, United Kingdom, and European Union, we deliver consistently pure, accurately measured compounds essential for reproducible experimental protocols.
Chemical Composition & Structure
4-AcO-MET (systematic name: 4-Acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine) is a synthetic indolealkylamine compound featuring an acetoxy functional group at the 4-position of the indole ring. As the N-acetylated analog of 4-HO-MET, this compound serves as a prodrug form in pharmacological research contexts. The molecular formula C₁₅H₂₀N₂O₂ yields a molecular weight of 260.33 g/mol.
Commonly designated Metacetin within research communities, 4-AcO-MET has emerged as a compound of significant interest in studies examining prodrug pharmacokinetics, deacetylation pathways, and comparative analysis with hydroxylated tryptamine counterparts. The acetyl ester modification alters lipophilicity profiles compared to 4-HO-MET, making it valuable for absorption and metabolic research.
Research Applications
Our crystalline powder serves as standardized reference material for:
- Prodrug metabolism and bioactivation studies
- Esterase enzyme interaction assays
- Comparative pharmacokinetic profiling with 4-HO-MET
- Receptor binding affinity studies (5-HT₂A, 5-HT₂C)
- Analytical method development and validation
- Forensic toxicology reference standards
- Structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigations
Researchers utilize biosynlab 4-AcO-MET alongside related acetylated tryptamines including 4-AcO-DMT, 4-AcO-MiPT, 4-AcO-DET, and hydroxylated counterparts to advance understanding of indolealkylamine structure-pharmacology relationships.
