Methylenedioxymethoxyethylamphetamine (MDMEOET) is a psychedelic and entactogen of the amphetamine class. It is a lesser-known member of the substituted amphetamines, which are a class of compounds that include well-known substances such as MDMA (Ecstasy) and MDA.

Chemical Structure and Properties

Structural formula of Methylenedioxymethoxyethylamphetamine

MDMEOET is chemically related to methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). The chemical structure of MDMEOET includes a methylenedioxy ring attached to the phenyl group, similar to other compounds in this class. Additionally, it has an ethoxy group attached to the nitrogen atom, which differentiates it from other related compounds.

The presence of the methylenedioxy group is thought to contribute to the compound's psychoactive properties, as it is a common feature in many psychedelic and entactogen drugs.

Pharmacology

MDMEOET is believed to act as a serotonin releasing agent, similar to other entactogens. This means it likely increases the levels of serotonin in the brain by promoting its release from neurons. The increase in serotonin levels is associated with the mood-lifting and empathogenic effects reported by users of similar substances.

The pharmacological profile of MDMEOET is not well-studied, and its effects on other neurotransmitter systems, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, are not well understood. However, it is likely that MDMEOET shares some pharmacological properties with other substituted amphetamines.

Effects

The effects of MDMEOET are not well-documented, but it is presumed to have effects similar to those of other entactogens and psychedelics. Users may experience enhanced mood, increased empathy, and altered sensory perception. The duration and intensity of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual differences among users.

Legal Status

The legal status of MDMEOET varies by country. In many places, it is not specifically listed as a controlled substance, but it may be considered illegal under analog laws that prohibit compounds similar to known controlled substances. It is important for individuals to be aware of the legal status of such compounds in their jurisdiction.

Related Compounds

MDMEOET is part of a larger family of substituted amphetamines, which includes:

• MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine)
• MDA (3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine)
• MDEA (3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine)

These compounds share similar chemical structures and are known for their psychoactive effects.
