α-Methyl-N-ethyltryptamine, also known as α-methyl-ethyltryptamine, α-methyl-NET, and α-MET, is a central nervous system stimulant belonging to the family of substituted tryptamines; it is a derivative of N-ethyltryptamine in which the ethylamine group in the α-configuration is substituted by a methyl group, or it can be described as the N-ethyl derivative of α-methyltryptamine.
Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics α-MET has been studied in animals; it is known that at a dose of 20 mg/kg, the animals’ spontaneous motor activity simply increases, whilst at a dose of 30 mg/kg this turns into pronounced stimulation; at the maximum dose of 30 mg/kg, the substance reduces ptosis by 60 per cent within 25 minutes.
