2,6-Dimethoxyphenethylamine (2,6-DMPEA), also known as DMPEA-5, is a drug of the phenethylamine family related to the psychedelic drug mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine). [1] [2] It is one of the positional isomers of dimethoxyphenethylamine. [1] [2]
Its in-vitro metabolism and effects on cat behavior have been described. [1] [3] [4] [5] The drug showed no activity as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor or releasing agent in vitro. [1] [6] It is relatively unaffected by monoamine oxidase (MAO) and is said to be behaviorally inactive in animals. [2] The effects of 2,6-DMPEA in humans have not been reported and are unknown. [1]
2,6-DMPEA was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1962. [1] [2] [7] It was included as an entry in Alexander Shulgin's 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds . [1]
Notable derivatives of 2,6-DMPEA include the psychedelic and related drugs Ψ-2C-T-4 (psi-2C-T-4), ψ-DOM (psi-DOM), and CT-5172. [8] [9] [2]
