Thioproscaline, also known as 3,5-dimethoxy-4-(β-thiopropyl)phenethylamine, is a synthetic compound of the [[phenethylamine]] class. It is structurally similar to mescaline, but with a sulfur atom incorporated into the side chain. The sulfur atom is part of a thioether group, which is where the 'thio' in thioproscaline comes from.

Thioproscaline[edit]

Chemical structure of Thioproscaline

Thioproscaline is a psychedelic compound that belongs to the class of phenethylamines. It is chemically related to mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic found in the peyote cactus. Thioproscaline is known for its psychoactive effects, which are similar to those of other phenethylamines, such as 2C-B and 2C-I.

Chemical Structure and Properties[edit]

Thioproscaline is a sulfur-containing analog of proscaline, with the chemical formula C11H17NO2S. The presence of a sulfur atom in its structure distinguishes it from other related compounds. The chemical structure of thioproscaline includes a methoxy group at the 3, 4, and 5 positions of the phenyl ring, similar to mescaline, but with a sulfur atom replacing one of the oxygen atoms.

Pharmacology[edit]

Thioproscaline acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. The compound's interaction with serotonin receptors leads to alterations in perception, mood, and cognition, characteristic of psychedelic experiences.

Effects[edit]

The effects of thioproscaline are similar to those of other psychedelic phenethylamines. Users report visual and auditory hallucinations, altered perception of time, and changes in thought patterns. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.

Synthesis[edit]

The synthesis of thioproscaline involves the introduction of a sulfur atom into the proscaline molecule. This is typically achieved through a series of chemical reactions that modify the structure of the parent compound. The synthesis process requires advanced knowledge of organic chemistry and access to specialized laboratory equipment.

Legal Status[edit]

The legal status of thioproscaline varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be classified as a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to other regulated psychedelics. It is important for researchers and users to be aware of the legal implications of possessing or using thioproscaline in their respective regions.

Related Compounds[edit]

Thioproscaline is part of a broader class of compounds known as thioamphetamines, which are characterized by the presence of a sulfur atom in their structure. Other related compounds include 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-7, which also exhibit psychedelic properties.
