4-HO-DET fumarate (4-hydroxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine fumarate) is a synthetic tryptamine derivative featuring a hydroxy group at the 4-position of the indole ring and diethyl substitution on the terminal amine. Structurally related to the naturally occurring psychedelic psilocin (4-HO-DMT), the 4-HO-DET molecule replaces both methyl groups with ethyl chains, offering researchers a tool for investigating how symmetric N-alkyl chain lengthening affects serotonin receptor pharmacology. RChems EU supplies 4-HO-DET as a stable, crystalline fumarate salt with verified 99%+ purity, ensuring reproducible results for in vitro receptor binding assays and neuropharmacological investigations.
