2,3-Dimethoxyphenethylamine (2,3-DMPEA), also known as DMPEA-2, is a drug of the phenethylamine family related to the psychedelic drug mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine). It is one of the positional isomers of dimethoxyphenethylamine.
In contrast to various other phenethylamines like β-phenethylamine and amphetamine, it showed little activity in terms of induction of norepinephrine release in vitro. The effects of 2,3-DMPEA in humans have not been reported and are unknown.
2,3-DMPEA was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1965. It was included as an entry in Alexander Shulgin's 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds.
