Proscaline (4-propoxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine or 4-propoxy-3,5-DMPEA) is a psychedelic and hallucinogenic drug. It has structural properties similar to the drugs mescaline, isoproscaline, and escaline. In PiHKAL, Alexander Shulgin reports that a dose of 30–60 mg produces effects lasting 8–12 hours.[1][2]

Pharmacology

Proscaline is a serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonist.[3] This is thought to be responsible for its psychedelic effects.[3]

Chemistry

Proscaline is in a class of compounds commonly known as phenethylamines, and is the 4-propoxy homolog of mescaline. The full name of the chemical is 4-propoxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine.

Legality

United Kingdom

Proscaline is a Class A controlled substance in the UK.

United States

Proscaline is not directly scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act. However, due to its structural similarities with mescaline, a Schedule I drug, it could potentially be subject to the same control measures and penalties for possession and manufacture under the Federal Analogue Act.
