2,4-Dimethoxyphenethylamine (2,4-DMPEA), also known as DMPEA-3, is a drug of the phenethylamine family related to the psychedelic drug mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine). [1] [2] [3] It is one of the positional isomers of dimethoxyphenethylamine. [1]

The in-vitro metabolism of 2,3-DMPEA and its effects on cat behavior have been studied. [1] [2] [3] The drug is known to act as a low-potency partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 202–999 nM; EC50 Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 832–4,034 nM; Emax Tooltip maximal efficacy = 67–83%). [4] [5] The effects of 2,4-DMPEA in humans have not been reported and are unknown. [1]

2,4-DMPEA was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1964. [1] [2] It was included as an entry in Alexander Shulgin's 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds . [1]

NBOMe and NBOH derivatives with potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonism, such as 24-NBOMe and 24-NBOH, have been synthesized and studied. [4] [5]
