3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-propylamphetamine (MDPR) is a psychedelic and entactogen of the amphetamine class. It is structurally related to 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), which are well-known psychoactive substances.

Chemical structure and properties[edit | edit source]

3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-propylamphetamine is a derivative of amphetamine with a methylenedioxy group attached to the phenyl ring and a propyl group attached to the nitrogen atom. The chemical formula is C13H19NO2.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

MDPR acts as a serotonin releasing agent, similar to other compounds in the methylenedioxyamphetamine family. It is believed to increase the levels of serotonin in the brain, leading to its psychoactive effects. The exact mechanism of action and the receptor affinities of MDPR are not well-documented.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-propylamphetamine are not well-studied, but it is presumed to have effects similar to those of other entactogens and psychedelics, such as MDMA. These effects may include altered mood, enhanced sensory perception, and increased empathy and sociability.

Legal status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of MDPR varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it may be considered a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to other regulated amphetamines.

Synthesis[edit | edit source]

The synthesis of 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-propylamphetamine involves the reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetone with propylamine. This process is similar to the synthesis of other methylenedioxyamphetamines.
