2,3,5,6-Tetramethoxyphenethylamine (2,3,5,6-TeMPEA), also known as TeMPEA-3, is a drug of the phenethylamine family related to the psychedelic drug mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine). [1] It is one of the possible positional isomers of tetramethoxyphenethylamine (TeMPEA). [1]
The in-vitro metabolism and effects of TeMPEA-3 on behavior in animals have been studied. [1] [2] [3] Unlike mescaline, TeMPEA-3 was inactive in the conditioned avoidance response test in rats. [1] [4] The effects of TeMPEA-3 in humans have not been reported and are unknown. [1]
The drug was first described in the scientific literature by 1955. [1] [5] TeMPEA-3 was included as an entry in Alexander Shulgin's 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds . [1]
