Chemistry[edit | edit source]

3-Methoxymethamphetamine is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C11H17NO2. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenethylamines, which are compounds containing a phenethylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an ethylamine.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacological properties of 3-Methoxymethamphetamine are not well known. However, as a methoxylated analog of methamphetamine, it is presumed to have similar effects. Methamphetamine is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that affects neurotransmitter systems in the brain, particularly the dopamine system. Therefore, it is likely that 3-Methoxymethamphetamine also affects these systems, although the specific effects may vary due to the methoxy group.
