7-Methyl-α-ethyltryptamine(7-Me-αET) is atryptaminederivative related toα-ethyltryptamine(αET). It was discovered by a team atUpjohnin the early 1960s.[1]It has similar pharmacological effects to αET, but is both 3-4 times more potent as aserotonin releasing agent,and 10 times more potent as amonoamine oxidase inhibitor,[2][3]making it potentially hazardous as this pharmacological profile is shared with drugs such asPMAand4-MTA,which are known to be dangerous in humans when used at high doses.
