Chemistry:Thiomescaline

Short description: Chemical compound

Thiomescaline (TM) is a pair of lesser-known psychedelic drugs with the molecular formula C₁₁H₁₇NO₂S. 3-TM and 4-TM are analogs of mescaline in which an oxygen atom has been replaced with a sulfur atom. They were first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his book PiHKAL. Very little data exists on the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of thiomescaline.
