Trifluoromescaline
Trifluoromescaline[edit | edit source]
Trifluoromescaline (TFM) is a synthetic psychedelic compound that belongs to the phenethylamine class. It is structurally related to mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic found in certain cacti.
Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]
Trifluoromescaline is chemically known as 2-(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)ethanamine. It is a derivative of mescaline, where the three methoxy groups are replaced by trifluoromethyl groups. This modification significantly alters its pharmacological properties compared to mescaline.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The pharmacological effects of trifluoromescaline are not well-documented, but it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines. The trifluoromethyl groups may influence its binding affinity and metabolic stability.
Effects[edit | edit source]
Due to limited research, the subjective effects of trifluoromescaline are not well understood. Anecdotal reports suggest that it may produce altered states of consciousness, visual hallucinations, and changes in perception, akin to other psychedelics. However, its potency and duration of effects are not well established.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
Trifluoromescaline is not widely recognized or regulated in many jurisdictions. However, its structural similarity to mescaline may subject it to analog drug laws in certain countries, where it could be considered a controlled substance.
Research and Development[edit | edit source]
Research on trifluoromescaline is limited, and it is primarily of interest in the field of psychedelic research. Its unique chemical structure makes it a candidate for studying the effects of trifluoromethylation on psychedelic activity.
Related Compounds[edit | edit source]
Trifluoromescaline is part of a broader class of trifluoromethylated phenethylamines. Other related compounds include 2C-TFM and DOI, which also feature trifluoromethyl groups and exhibit psychedelic properties.
