3,4-Methylenedioxyphentermine (MDPH) is a lesser-known drug of the amphetamine family. MDPH was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MDPH.

Contents

In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved) , the dosage range is listed as 160–240 mg, and the duration as 3–5 hours. [1] MDPH's effects are very similar to those of MDA: they both are smooth and "stoning," and do not cause any visuals. They also alter dreams and dream patterns. Shulgin describes MDPH as a promoter; it promotes the effects of other drugs, similarly to 2C-D.

The N-methyl derivative, 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylphentermine (MDMPH), has been described by Shulgin as lacking MDMA-like effects. [2] Accordingly, MDMPH, as well as MDPH, were found to be inactive as serotonin releasing agents in vitro . [2] [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Methylenedioxydimethylamphetamine</span> Chemical compound

3,4-Methylenedioxy-N,N-dimethylamphetamine (MDDM) is a lesser-known research chemical. It is also the N,N-dimethyl analog of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA). MDDM was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PiHKAL , the dosage is unspecified and the duration unknown. MDDM produces only mild effects that are not well characterized in PiHKAL. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MDDM. This compound is however occasionally encountered as an impurity in 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA) which has been synthesized by methylation of MDA using methylating reagents such as methyl iodide. An excess of reagent or a reaction temperature that is too high results in some double methylation of the amine nitrogen, yielding MDDM as well as MDMA. The presence of MDDM as an impurity can thus reveal which synthetic route was used to manufacture seized samples of MDMA.
