3,5-Dimethoxyamphetamine (3,5-DMA), also known as DMA-6, is a drug of the amphetamine family and a positional isomer of dimethoxyamphetamine (DMA).[1] It is the parent structure of the 3C (4-substituted 3,5-dimethoxyamphetamine) family of compounds (also known as 3C-scalines).[1]
In an early study, it showed similar affinity for serotonin receptors as mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) but had more than an order of magnitude lower affinity than DOx (4-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine) drugs like DOM, DOET, and DOB.[1][2] However, in a later study, it showed no or very low affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = >10,000 nM), whereas DOB showed high affinity for these receptors (Ki = 32 nM and 64 nM, respectively).[3] 3,5-DMA's effects on monoamine reuptake and efflux have also been studied.[1][4][5][6] It appeared to be weak or inactive as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and norepinephrine releasing agent.[4][5] Likewise, it was a very weak serotonin reuptake inhibitor (IC50 = 18,500 nM) and serotonin releasing agent (active at ≥10,000 nM).[6]
3,5-DMA was inactive in substituting for DOM in rodent drug discrimination tests (4–14% appropriate responding for 5–12.5 mg/kg), suggesting that it would not be hallucinogenic in humans.[1][7] However, it has shown other pharmacological effects in mice and with similar potency as mescaline, whereas it was inactive in rats.[8] The effects of 3,5-DMA in humans have not been reported.[1][8] 3,5-DMA has been detected as an adulterant in forensic drug samples.[9] As a positional isomer of 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (2,5-DMA; DMA-4), 3,5-DMA is a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States.[1]
A derivative of 3,5-DMA, 4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (4-Br-3,5-DMA), showed relatively high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 210 nM and 570 nM, respectively).[3] However, it was not active as a psychedelic at the assessed doses (4–10 mg).[10]
