4-METHYLTHIOAMPHETAMIN Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

4-MTA is a methylthio analog of para-methoxyamphetamine (PMA), a hallucinogenic drug that has been scheduled in many countries. In animal models, the effects of 4-MTA are qualitatively and quantitatively indistinguishable from those of PMA. The metabolism of this compound has recently been described. This product is intended for forensic applications.

Uses

It is a potent non-neurotonic serotonin-releasing agent, and a potent, selective and reversible monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) inhibitor. 4-Methylthioamphetamine (4-MTA) belongs to a group of new amphetamine derivatives that is usually sold as "ecstasy" or "flatliners" on the illicit drug market.
