β-Methylphenethylamine (β-Me-PEA, BMPEA, or 1-amino-2-phenylpropane) is an organic compound of the phenethylamine class, and a positional isomer of the drug amphetamine, with which it shares some properties. In particular, both amphetamine and β-methylphenethylamine are human TAAR1 agonists. [2] In appearance, it is a colorless or yellowish ...
Phenethylamine is a potent agonist of the mouse, rat, and human trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1). [43] [2] β-PEA is also an odorant binding TAAR4 in mice thought to mediate predator avoidance. [44] Similarly to the case of amphetamine, phenethylamine shows enhanced locomotor stimulation, a psychostimulant-like effect, in TAAR1 ...
Substituted amphetamines are a chemical class of stimulants, entactogens, hallucinogens, and other drugs. They feature a phenethylamine core with a methyl group attached to the alpha carbon resulting in amphetamine, along with additional substitutions.
A claim of β-methyl-phenethylamine from flowers is not supported by the reference given. [42] Ether extracts about 2-6% of the dried leaf mass. [13] Alkaloids are present in the bark [43] and leaves. [44] Others found no alkaloids. [25] Claims of amphetamines and mescaline in the tree [39] appear to be groundless
MDA is a substituted methylenedioxylated phenethylamine and amphetamine derivative. In relation to other phenethylamines and amphetamines, it is the 3,4-methylenedioxy, α-methyl derivative of β-phenylethylamine, the 3,4-methylenedioxy derivative of amphetamine, and the N-desmethyl derivative of MDMA.
Like amphetamines and cathinones, MDxx compounds derive most if not all of their stimulant effects from the phenylethylamine core, in fact most MDxx compounds can also be grouped with cathinones and or amphetamines due to having similar functional groups, but in most cases any compound with a methylenedioxy group attached will be grouped as an ...
Cannabis has a longstanding reputation for helping people relax, but recent research has found it can have a negative impact on mental health. For that reason, it's understandable to have questions.
Amphetamine [note 2] (contracted from alpha-methylphenethylamine) is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity; it is also used to treat binge eating disorder in the form of its inactive prodrug lisdexamfetamine.
