Abstract
3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl-β-aminopropane (TMA) is structurally related to both amphetamine and mescaline, as is shown in Figure 1. Because of this structural relationship of TMA and amphetamine, methedrine, and mescaline, one could anticipate a clinical response to the compound which would represent certain phenomena characteristic of each of these drugs. This presented an intriguing problem as to whether or not, in actuality, this would be the case.
