Chemistry:Isomescaline
Isomescaline (IM), also known as 2,3,4-trimethoxyphenethylamine (2,3,4-TMPEA) or as TMPEA-3 or 2C-TMA-3, is a chemical compound related to mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine).[1] It is a positional isomer of mescaline, as well as an analogue of TIM-2, TIM-3, and TIM-4.[1] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists its dose as greater than 400 mg orally and its duration as unknown.[1] Despite its structural similarity to mescaline, isomescaline produced no effects in humans.[1] Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of isomescaline.[1] Isomescaline was first described in the scientific literature by Clark and colleagues by 1965.[2] Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.[1] Isomescaline is not a controlled substance in Canada as of 2025.[3]
