4-AcO-DALT molecule structure4-AcO-DALT molecule structure

4-AcO-DALT is a tryptamine derivative sold as a designer drug and reported to be psychedelic. It was first reported in the mid-2000s and officially identified in seized drug samples in 2012. It remains uncommon, and little is known about its pharmacology or effects. Structural analogues include DALT, 4-HO-DALT, 5-MeO-DALT, 4-AcO-DMT, 4-AcO-DET, 4-AcO-DiPT, and 4-AcO-MALT.

Subjective Effects

Legacy content. A statistically backed ontology from Mindstate Design Labs is coming soon.

Very little is documented about the effects of this compound. Available reports describe a psychedelic-type experience combining euphoria, altered perception, and both mental and physical stimulation, with visual changes and a softening of the sense of self.

Physical

Stimulation, restlessness, and muscle tension are reported, along with autonomic changes such as pupil dilation, sweating or chills, decreased appetite, and difficulty sleeping.

Autonomic

Pupil dilationAppetite suppression

Stimulation

Insomnia

Cognitive

The headspace is described as euphoric and empathetic, with a sense of insight and ego softening, though confusion has also been reported.

Confusion

Visual

Visual effects are reported both with the eyes closed and with the eyes open, alongside brightened colors.

Hallucinatory States

Tactile

Reagent Testing

Expected colorimetric results for common reagent tests. Colors show reaction change over 1–2 minutes.
