Chemistry:2-Furylethylamine
2-Furylethylamine (2-FEA or FEA) is a drug of the arylalkylamine family related to the substituted phenethylamines such as β-phenethylamine (PEA) and amphetamine.[1] It is known to have similar pressor effects as amphetamine and strong constricting effects on the uterus in animals.[1][2][3] The psychoactive effects of FEA in humans are unknown.[1]
Derivatives of FEA include α-Me-FEA (furylisopropylamine) and α,N-Me-FEA, among others.[1][2] α-Me-FEA was less several-fold potent than amphetamine in animals and showed limited effects in humans.[2] Analogues of FEA, besides β-phenethylamine (PEA) and amphetamine (α-Me-PEA), include TH-FEA, α-Me-TH-FEA, ThEA, thiopropamine (α-Me-ThEA), 3-ThEA, 2-(2-pyrrolyl)ethylamine (NEA), and α-Me-NEA, among others.[1][2] Some of them are known to be active.[1][2]
FEA was first synthesized by 1920.[1][3] FEA and analogues were studied by Gordon Alles and colleagues, who discovered its pressor effects.[1][2] FEA is not a controlled substance in the United States as of 2011.[1]
