3-Methoxyphenethylamine (3-MPEA) is a drug of the phenethylamine family. [1] [2] It is one of the methoxyphenethylamine positional isomers. [1] [2]

Contents

The drug showed very low affinity for the serotonin receptors in the rat stomach fundus strip (A2 = 1,290 nM). [1] [3] 3-MPEA is a low-potency partial agonist of the human trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) (EC50 Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 1,444 nM; Emax Tooltip maximal efficacy = 73%). [4] The effects of 3-MPEA in humans have not been reported and are unknown. [1]

3-MPEA was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1943. [5] [6] [1] It was studied at Edgewood Arsenal and received the code name EA-1302. [2] The drug was included as an entry in Alexander Shulgin's 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds . [1]

A positional isomer of MPEA is 3-methoxyphenethylamine (3-MPEA) and, although there are no reported human trials with this, it has been graced with an Edgewood Arsenal code number, vis., EA-1302."
