Methiopropamine (also known as MPA) is a stimulant substance of the thiophene class. It is a ring-based structural analogue of methamphetamine.

Methiopropamine was first synthesized in 1942.[1] It appeared for public sale in the U.K. in December 2010 as a research chemical or legal high, recently branded as "Blow".[2]

Subjective effects are reportedly similar to those of classical stimulants and includes stimulation, focus enhancement, motivation enhancement, increased libido, appetite suppression, and euphoria. However, it is generally considered to be as euphoric or recreational as classical stimulants. It is occasionally reported to be used as a study aid.

Limited data exists about the pharmacology and toxicity of methiopropamine in humans, and it has only a short history of human use. It is highly advised to use harm reduction practices if using this substance.

Chemistry

Methiopropamine, or 1-(thiophen-2-yl)-2-methylaminopropane, is a synthetic molecule of the thiophene class. It is a structural analogue to methamphetamine. It contains a thiophene ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at Rα. Methiopropamine contains an additional methyl substitution at RN (similarly to MDMA and methamphetamine). Although methiopropamine is analogous to methamphetamine, it is neither an amphetamine nor a phenethylamine as methiopropamine contains a thiophene ring instead of a benzene ring. Thiophene is a five-membered aromatic ring with a sulphur constituent.

Pharmacology

Methiopropamine functions as a selective norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent. This allows dopamine and norepinephrine to accumulate within the brain, resulting in stimulating and euphoric effects. It is approximately one third as potent as dextroamphetamine as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and one fifth as much as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. It displays negligible activity as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.[3]

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.

Toxicity and harm potential

 

This toxicity and harm potential section is a stub.

As a result, it may contain incomplete or even dangerously wrong information! You can help by expanding upon or correcting it.
Note: Always conduct independent research and use harm reduction practices if using this substance.

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational MPA use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because MPA has very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried MPA within the community suggest that there do not seem to be any negative health effects attributed to simply trying this drug at low to moderate doses by itself and using it sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this substance.

Dependence and abuse potential

As with other stimulants, the chronic use of MPA can be considered moderately addictive with a high potential for abuse and is capable of causing psychological dependence among certain users. When addiction has developed, cravings and withdrawal effects may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage.

Tolerance to many of the effects of MPA develops with prolonged and repeated use. This results in users having to administer increasingly large doses to achieve the same effects. After that, it takes about 3 - 7 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 1 - 2 weeks to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). MPA presents cross-tolerance with all dopaminergic stimulants, meaning that after the consumption of MPA all stimulants will have a reduced effect.

Psychosis

Main article: Stimulant psychosis

Abuse of compounds within the stimulant class at high dosages for prolonged periods of time can potentially result in a stimulant psychosis that may present with a variety of symptoms (e.g., paranoia, hallucinations, or delusions).[4] A review on treatment for amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and methamphetamine abuse-induced psychosis states that about 5–15% of users fail to recover completely.[4][5] The same review asserts that, based upon at least one trial, antipsychotic medications effectively resolve the symptoms of acute amphetamine psychosis.[4]

Dangerous interactions

Warning: Many psychoactive substances that are reasonably safe to use on their own can suddenly become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with certain other substances. The following list provides some known dangerous interactions (although it is not guaranteed to include all of them).

Always conduct independent research (e.g. Google, DuckDuckGo, PubMed) to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume. Some of the listed interactions have been sourced from TripSit.

Legal status

  • Austria: Since June 26, 2019, Methiopropamine is illegal to possess, produce and sell under the SMG. (Suchtmittelgesetz Österreich)[8]
  • China: Methiopropamine is a controlled substance.[9]
  • Finland: Methiopropamine is illegal in Finland.[citation needed]
  • Germany: Methiopropamine is controlled under Anlage I BtMG (Narcotics Act, Schedule I)[10] as of July 17, 2013.[11] It is illegal to manufacture, possess, import, export, buy, sell, procure or dispense it without a license.[12]
  • Switzerland: Methiopropamine is a controlled substance specifically named under Verzeichnis D.[13]
  • United Kingdom: Methiopropamine is a Class B drug.[14]
  • United States: Methiopropamine is not scheduled at the federal level in the United States,[15] but it could be considered an analogue of methamphetamine in which case purchase, sale, or possession could be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act. Methiopropamine's structure differs from methamphetamine's structure significantly more than previous successful prosecutions under the same law.[citation needed]
    • Florida: Methiopropamine is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida, making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Florida.[16]
