MEDA, also known as 3-methoxy-4,5-ethylenedioxyamphetamine or as 5-methoxy-EDA, is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and EDxx families. [1] [2] It is the EDxx analogue of MMDA (5-methoxy-MDA). [1] [2] [3] The compound was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. [1] [2] In his book PiHKAL , the minimum dose is listed as 200 mg, and the duration as unknown. [1] [2] MEDA produced few to no effects. [1] [2] Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MEDA. [1] [2] MEDA was first described in the scientific literature by Shulgin in 1964. [3] [1] [2]
