4-Methylmethamphetamine[edit]

Chemical structure of 4-Methylmethamphetamine

4-Methylmethamphetamine (4-MMA) is a synthetic stimulant drug of the amphetamine class. It is a structural analog of methamphetamine, differing by the addition of a methyl group at the fourth position of the phenyl ring. This modification results in distinct pharmacological properties compared to its parent compound.

Chemical Properties[edit]

4-Methylmethamphetamine is chemically classified as a phenethylamine and a substituted amphetamine. Its chemical formula is C11H17N, and it has a molecular weight of 163.26 g/mol. The presence of the methyl group on the phenyl ring influences its interaction with various neurotransmitter systems in the brain.

Pharmacology[edit]

4-Methylmethamphetamine acts primarily as a central nervous system stimulant. It is known to increase the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain, leading to heightened alertness, increased energy, and euphoria. However, the addition of the methyl group can also alter its potency and duration of action compared to methamphetamine.

Effects and Risks[edit]

The effects of 4-Methylmethamphetamine are similar to those of other stimulants, including increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and enhanced mood. However, the use of 4-MMA can also lead to adverse effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and potential neurotoxicity. Long-term use may result in addiction and other health complications.

Legal Status[edit]

The legal status of 4-Methylmethamphetamine varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and lack of accepted medical use. It is important for medical professionals and researchers to be aware of the legal implications when studying or handling this compound.

Related Compounds[edit]

4-Methylmethamphetamine is related to several other compounds in the amphetamine class, including:
