2,5-Dimethoxyamphetamine (2,5-DMA), also known as DMA-4 or as DOH, is a drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine families.[1][2] It is one of the dimethoxyamphetamine (DMA) series of positional isomers.[1][2] The drug is notable in being the parent compound of the DOx (4-substituted-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine) series of drugs.[1][2]
Use and effects
2,5-DMA is said to be inactive as a psychedelic, at least at the doses that have been assessed.[1][2] However, it has been reported to produce some stimulant-like effects, as well as sympathomimetic effects and mydriasis.[1][2] The dose range is said to be 80 to 160Script error: No such module "String".mg orally and its duration is 6 to 8Script error: No such module "String".hours.[1][2]

2,5-DMA is a low-potency serotonin 5-HT2A receptor partial agonist, with an affinity (Ki) of 2,502Script error: No such module "String".nM, an EC50 of 160 to 3,548Script error: No such module "String".nM (depending on the signaling cascade and study), and an Emax of 66 to 109%.[6][7][10][11] It has also been assessed at several other receptors.[6][7] In a much earlier study, its affinities (Ki) were 1,020Script error: No such module "String".nM at the serotonin 5-HT1 receptor and 5,200Script error: No such module "String".nM at the serotonin 5-HT2 receptor.[15][16] The drug does not appear to bind to the monoamine transporters, at least at the assessed concentrations (up to 7,000Script error: No such module "String".nM).[6][7] It was inactive at the human trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1).[6][7] 2,5-DMA shows dramatically reduced potency as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist compared to the DOx drugs, such as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM).[6][7]
2,5-DMA substitutes for DOM in rodent drug discrimination tests, albeit with dramatically lower potency than other DOx drugs, suggesting that it may have psychedelic-like effects at very high doses.[17] It also substitutes for 5-MeO-DMT in rodent drug discrimination tests.[18] Conversely, 2,5-DMA shows no substitution for dextroamphetamine in such tests, suggesting that it lacks psychostimulant- or amphetamine-like effects, at least in rodents.[17]
Though 2,5-DMA appears to be inactive or of very low potency as a psychedelic in humans, it is a highly potent anti-inflammatory drug similarly to other DOx and 2C drugs.[11][19] This was in spite of it being of very low potency as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist in terms of calcium mobilization in the study (EC50 = 3,548Script error: No such module "String".nM; Emax = 109.0%).[11] Based on the preceding findings, Charles D. Nichols has said that both fully anti-inflammatory non-psychedelic compounds like 2,5-DMA and fully psychedelic non-anti-inflammatory compounds like DOTFM are known.[19]
Manufacturing
2,5-DMA is used by Polaroid Corporation in the manufacturing of Polaroid film.[20][21]
