N,N-Dimethyl-4-methylthioamphetamine
N,N-Dimethyl-4-methylthioamphetamine (DMMTA or N,N-dimethyl-4-MTA; code name PAL-1062), also known as 4-methylthio-N,N-dimethylamphetamine (4-MTDMA), is a monoamine releasing agent (MRA) of the amphetamine family related to 4-methylthioamphetamine (4-MTA) and 4-methylthiomethamphetamine (4-MTMA or NMMTA).[1][2][3] It has been described as an MRA of serotonin and dopamine that lacks induction of aortic contraction in vitro and hence may lack concomitant norepinephrine release (i.e., it may be a serotonin–dopamine releasing agent (SDRA)).[1][2][3] However, EC50 values for monoamine release by 4-MTDMA were not reported.[2][3] 4-MTDMA is a partial releaser of serotonin rather than a full releaser, with a maximal efficacy for induction of serotonin release of either 25% or 50% relative to the full serotonin releasers MDMA or para-chloroamphetamine (PCA).[3] In addition to its MRA activity, 4-MTDMA is a fairly potent monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 2,100 nM.[4][5] Potent monoamine oxidase inhibition by amphetamines has been associated with dangerous and sometimes fatal toxicity in humans.[4][5] See alsoReferences
