N-Ethyltryptamine (NET), also abbreviated as NETP, is a tryptamine that is structurally related to N-methyltryptamine (NMT) and the psychedelic drugs N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and N,N-diethyltryptamine (DET).[1]

Use and effects

[edit]

Alexander Shulgin included NET as an entry in his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved).[1] However, he stated that it had been subjected only to modest human trials and that no active dose level had been identified.[1]

TargetAffinity (Ki, nM)
5-HT1AIA
5-HT2A38 (EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration)
99% (EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy)
SERT19a (EC50)
NETTooltip Norepinephrine transporter 3,862a (EC50)
DATTooltip Dopamine transporter 6,660a (EC50)
Notes: The smaller the value, the more avidly the drug interacts with the site. Footnotes: a = Neurotransmitter release. Sources: [2]

NET has been found to act as a potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor full agonist and a selective serotonin releasing agent.[2] It is inactive at the 5-HT1A receptor.[2] The drug is also a serotonin receptor agonist in the rat uterus and stomach strip.[3][4]
