Interactions

Summary sheet: 4-AcO-DiPT

4-Acetoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (also known as 4-AcO-DiPT, 4-Acetoxy-DiPT, Ipracetin and colloquially as "Aces") is a lesser-known synthetic psychedelic substance of the tryptamine chemical class that reportedly produces a unique mix of primarily physically-oriented and stimulating, minimally visual and introspective version of psilocin-like psychedelic effects when administered.

4-AcO-DiPT is described in early online reports as being vaguely similar in nature to psilocin yet with the energetic signature of more stimulating psychedelics like 2C-B (yet without any significant headspace or visual alterations), and a uniquely short duration of around 2.5 - 4 hours. It is anecdotally been reported to be slightly less potent and a bit longer lasting than 4-HO-DiPT with an active dose reported at between 15 and 40 mg. It is primarily thought to act as a prodrug to 4-HO-DiPT (Iprocin), although it has been speculated that it may exhibit some activity of its own.

While Alexander Shulgin doesn't comment on 4-AcO-DiPT explicitly in his book TiHKAL ("Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved"), he does provide some commentary on its putative metabolic end-product (4-HO-DiPT), remarking that "I truly doubt that there is another psychedelic drug, anywhere, that can match this one for speed, for intensity, for brevity, and sensitive to dose, at least one that is active orally." Anecdotal reports dating from at least 1999 reveals that these general characteristics are preserved in 4-AcO-DiPT, with the exception of a less rapid onset and not quite as much excess energy manifested in the form of tremors and physical side-effects, making it a more comfortable experience overall.

Today, 4-AcO-DiPT is rarely made available on the market and when it is, is almost exclusively distributed online as a gray-area research chemical for entheogenic but more typically for recreational purposes. It is an example of the early wave of psychedelic research chemical that were explored following the wake of its initial synthesis and documentation in TiHKAL, before the popularization of an easily-accessible vendor network of psychedelic research chemicals arose in the early 2000s, where it has persisted ever since.

Chemistry

4-Acetoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine, or 4-AcO-DiPT, is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the tryptamine chemical class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R₃ to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-AcO-DiPT is substituted at R₄ of its indole heterocycle with an acetoxy (-AcO) functional group CH₃COO−. It also contains two diisopropyl chains bound to the terminal amine R_N of its base tryptamine backbone (i.e. DiPT).

4-AcO-DiPT is the N-substituted isopropyl homolog of 4-HO-DMT (Psilocin), the acetate ester analog of DiPT and the N-substituted diisopropyl analog of 4-AcO-DMT.

Pharmacology

Further information: Serotonergic psychedelic

4-AcO-DiPT likely acts as a 5-HT_2A partial agonist. The psychedelic effects are believed to come from 4-AcO-DiPT's efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptors. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience remains subject to elucidation.

It is worth noting that 4-AcO-DiPT is reported to produce effects that are almost identical to its 4-HO-DiPT counterpart, albeit with a slightly extended duration and slower ramp-up in its activity. This is in the same manner that 4-AcO-DMT/4-HO-DMT, 4-AcO-MET/4-HO-MET, and 4-AcO-DET/4-HO-DMT all share the core phenomenology to their counterparts, suggesting that the 4-acetoxy tryptamine compounds are largely deacetylated into their respective 4-hydroxy analogs before exerting their main effects, though the degree and manner to which this occurs has yet to be scientifically elucidated.

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.

Physical effects

The physical effects of 4-AcO-DiPT are perhaps the most pronounced and distinct of any four-position substituted tryptamine. Anecdotal reports suggest that they seem to come at the expense of any introspective quality and instead produces a state marked initially by sedation, deep relaxation, and physical comfort before proceeding to a state marked by a unique sense of psychedelic-type stimulation, tactile enhancements and physical euphoria that remains consistent throughout the experience.

• Spontaneous tactile sensations - The "body high" of 4-AcO-DiPT can be described as a pleasurable, soft and all-encompassing tingling sensation or glow. This maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached. Once the peak of the experience or sensation is reached it can feel incredibly euphoric and tranquil along with a paradoxical sense of energetic stimulation that is atypical for a substituted tryptamine.
  • Physical euphoria - It should be noted that this effect is a very consistent and predominating component relative to related psychedelics like psilocin and produces energetic and stimulating effects that uniquely resemble those produced by stimulants or entactogens (in as close as a psychedelic can get to the physical euphoria these substances can produce), albeit in a less forced manner.
• Tactile enhancement - This effect is very prominent relative to just about all other substituted tryptamine.
• Sedation - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the tripper, 4-AcO-DiPT is considered by most to be relaxing, stoning and mildly sedating. This sense of sedation is often accompanied by compulsive yawning.
• Perception of increased weight- This effect corresponds to the general sense of sedation and relaxation that characterizes 4-AcO-DiPT experiences, this manifests as a bodily heaviness that discourages movement but is typically only prominent during the first half of the trip.
• Changes in felt bodily form - This effect is often accompanied by a sense of warmth or unity and usually occurs around the peak of the experience or directly after. Users can feel as if they are physically part of or conjoined with other objects. This is usually reported as feeling deeply comfortable in its sensations and even peaceful, and is a very prominent effect produced by 4-HO-DiPT.
• Muscle relaxation
• Nausea - This effect can be greatly lessened or even completely avoided if the individual has an empty stomach prior to ingestion. It is often recommended that one either refrain from eating for approximately 6 to 8 hours beforehand, or eat a light meal 3 to 4 hours before if they are feeling physically fatigued. Relative to other tryptamines like psilocybin mushrooms or 4-AcO-DMT, there is minimal to no nausea that is produced by this substance.
• Temperature regulation suppression - A special amount of attention should be paid to the temperature modulating effects of this compound -- especially at its peak -- as reports suggest that it can reliably produce increased bodily temperature that is somewhat atypical for a substituted tryptamine.
  • Increased bodily temperature
• Increased heart rate
• Restless leg syndrome
• Excessive yawning
• Muscle contractions
• Watery eyes
• Pupil dilation
• Seizure - This is a very rare effect but can likely happen in those predisposed to them, especially while in physically taxing conditions such as being dehydrated, fatigued or undernourished.

Cognitive effects

The cognitive effects of 4-AcO-DiPT are described by many as a paradoxical mixture of being both sedating/stoning and markedly stimulating in style when compared to other commonly used tryptamines such as psilocin or 4-AcO-DMT, which tend to be sedating, introspective, and personally meaningful. It is also regarded as being notably more lucid and un-impairing than psilocybin mushrooms or even LSD, with minimal to no headspace or visual alterations. It displays a number of cognitive effects that are not typically associated with tryptamine psychedelics.

The most prominent of these typical effects generally include:

• Stimulation
• Disinhibition
• Anxiety suppression
• Outrospection
• Increased libido
• Increased music appreciation
• Novelty enhancement
• Immersion enhancement
• Empathy, love, and sociability enhancement - This effect can be described as being less prominent, consistent and profound when compared to other traditional psychedelics such as mescaline, LSD or 4-AcO-DMT. This can lead to strong feelings of physical connection and social bonding, both in mass gatherings as well as in more intimate settings. The sociability enhancement occurs at a much higher and consistent rate than with just about all other substituted tryptamines.
• Thought acceleration
• Ego inflation
• Compulsive redosing
• Mindfulness
• Time distortion

Visual effects

In comparison to other psychedelics and substituted tryptamines, 4-AcO-DiPT presents very little in the way of visual effects, with only mild visual alterations even at heavy doses for all of the effects listed across the board. Anecdotal reports suggest that it is incapable of producing any higher level visuals and totally incapable of inducing geometry or hallucinatory states as is the case with other 4-substituted tryptamines such as 4-AcO-DMT or 4-AcO-MET.

Enhancements

• Colour enhancement
• Visual acuity enhancement

Distortions

• Drifting (melting, flowing, breathing and morphing) - In comparison to other psychedelics, this effect can be described as extremely mild to moderate, even at heavy doses, and does not comprise a significant portion of the experience.
• Colour shifting
• Tracers

Auditory effects

• Enhancements
• Distortions

Combinational effects

• Cannabis - When used in conjunction with cannabis, both the visual and cognitive effects of psilocin can be intensified and extended with extreme efficiency. This should be used with extreme caution, especially if one is not experienced with psychedelics. Many users sometimes report a dramatically more intense visual trip when combining it with THC concentrates such as hashish as opposed to cannabis flower; however, this can also amplify the anxiety, confusion and psychosis producing aspects of cannabis significantly, so extreme caution is advised.
• Dissociatives - When used in combination with dissociatives, the geometry, euphoria, dissociation and hallucinatory effects are often greatly enhanced. Dissociative-induced holes, spaces, and voids while under the influence of psilocin can result in significantly more vivid visuals than dissociatives alone present, along with more intense internal hallucinations, confusion, delusions and chances of a psychotic reaction.
• MDMA - When used in conjunction with MDMA, the physical and cognitive effects of MDMA are amplified. The visual, physical and cognitive effects of psilocin are also intensified with an overwhelming euphoric pleasure manifested through uniquely pleasurable body highs and headspaces, and uniquely colorful and awe-inspiring visuals. The synergy between these substances is unpredictable, and it is best to start with markedly lower dosages than one would take for both substances individually.
• Alcohol - This interaction is not typically recommended due to alcohol’s ability to cause dehydration, depression and thought disorganization which can negatively affect a trip if taken in high dosages. This combination is however reasonably safe in low doses and when used responsibly, this can often take the edge off a trip as well as dull its psychedelic effects in a fashion somewhat similar to benzodiazepines, albeit more stressful on the body.
• Benzodiazepines - When used in combination with benzodiazepines, benzodiazepines can, depending on the dosage, slightly to completely reduce the intensity of the cognitive, physical and visual effects of a psilocin trip. They are very efficient at stopping bad trips at the cost of amnesia and reduced trip intensity. Caution is advised when acquiring them for this purpose, however, due to the very high addiction potential that benzodiazepines possess.

Toxicity and harm potential

Further information: Research chemicals § Toxicity and harm potential, and Responsible use § Hallucinogens

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 4-AcO-DiPT use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because 4-AcO-DiPT is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the psychonaut community who have tried 4-AcO-DiPT suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). Independent research should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.

It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this drug.

Tolerance and addiction potential

4-AcO-DiPT is not habit-forming and the desire to use it can actually decrease with repeatedd use. As with most psychedelics, it is generally considered to have a built-in, self-regulating aspect to it.

Tolerance to the effects of 4-AcO-DiPT are built almost immediately after ingestion. Afterward, it takes about 3 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 7 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 4-AcO-DiPT presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all psychedelics]], meaning that after the consumption of 4-AcO-DiPT all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.
