2-Methylmescaline (2-Me-M), also known as 2-methyl-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline.[1] It is the 2-methyl derivative of mescaline.[1] The drug shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 525 nM, 1,640 nM, and 1,094 nM, respectively).[1] These affinities were 5.7-fold, 2.8-fold, and 7.1-fold higher than those of mescaline, respectively.[1] The drug is not known to have been tested in animals or humans.[1] 2-Methylmescaline was first described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel and colleagues in 2013.[1] The source of the information cited by Trachsel and colleagues was personal communication with David E. Nichols in 2010.[1]
