Fluoroescaline (FE), also known as 4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline.[1][2][3] It is a fluorinated derivative of escaline.[1][2][3] The drug is active at a dose of 75 mg or more orally and its duration is approximately 6 hours.[1][2][3] The drug has not been fully tested and it produced only weak hallucinogenic effects and no closed-eye or open-eye visuals at dose of 75 mg.[1] Fluoroescaline is notably less potent than escaline.[1][2][3] It is a low-potency near-full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and also interacts with other serotonin receptors and targets.[3] The chemical synthesis of fluoroescaline has been described. Fluoroescaline was first described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel in 2002.[1][2][3][4] Its pharmacology was subsequently described in further detail in 2021.[3]
