Chemistry:2-Methoxyphenethylamine
2-Methoxyphenethylamine (2-MPEA) is a drug of the phenethylamine family.[1] It is one of the methoxyphenethylamine positional isomers.[1]
Use and effects
The effects of 2-MPEA in humans have not been reported and are unknown.[1]
Pharmacology
The drug showed very low affinity for the serotonin receptors in the rat stomach fundus strip (A2 = 3,020 nM).[1][2] In another study, it showed no affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A or 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = >10,000 nM).[3] 2-MPEA is a potent full agonist of the human trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) (EC50 = 144 nM; Emax = 95%).[4]
History
2-MPEA was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1943.[5][6][1] It was included as an entry in Alexander Shulgin's 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds.[1]
