N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine

N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine

N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine (also known as N,α-DEPEA or Eria Jarensis Extract) is a phenethylamine class stimulant and nootropic that is often used in pre-workout supplements and nootropic stacks. It is known for its potential to enhance cognitive function, increase energy, and improve mood.

Chemistry

N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine is a derivative of phenethylamine, a naturally occurring compound found in various plants and animals. It is structurally similar to other phenethylamines such as amphetamine and methamphetamine, but it has two ethyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom and the alpha carbon.

Pharmacology

The exact mechanism of action of N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine is not fully understood. However, it is believed to work by increasing the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, which are neurotransmitters involved in mood, motivation, and focus. It may also have a mild monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) effect, which could potentially increase the potency and duration of its effects.

Uses

N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine is often used in pre-workout supplements due to its potential to increase energy and focus. It is also used in nootropic stacks for its potential cognitive enhancing effects. However, it should be noted that the safety and efficacy of N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine for these uses has not been thoroughly studied.

Safety

The safety of N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine is not well-studied. It is structurally similar to amphetamine and methamphetamine, which are known to have potential for abuse and addiction. Therefore, caution should be used when taking supplements containing N,α-Diethylphenylethylamine.
