3,4,5-Trimethylphenethylamine (also known as TMePEA and 3,4,5-tris-desoxymescaline) is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine family.[1] It is the analogue of mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) in which all three methoxy groups on the phenyl ring have been replaced with methyl groups.[1] The behavioral effects of TMePEA in cats have been studied.[1][2] The human psychoactivity of TMePEA is unknown.[1] The compound was described in Alexander Shulgin's The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds (2011).[1]
