3,4,5-Trimethylphenethylamine (also known as TMePEA and 3,4,5-tris-desoxymescaline) is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine family.[1] It is the analogue of mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) in which all three methoxy groups on the phenyl ring have been replaced with methyl groups.[1] The behavioral effects of TMePEA in cats have been studied.[1][2][3] In contrast to mescaline, TMePEA and other analogues have rage-inducing effects in cats.[2] The human psychoactivity of TMePEA is unknown.[1] The compound was described in Alexander Shulgin's The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds (2011).[1]

BENINGTON and coworkers [34-36, 66, 71, 355, 357] have synthesized several mescaline analogs and their deoxy congeners. CLARK et al. [157, 158, 171, 172] reported results of in vitro biochemical studies and behavioral studies of these compounds in cats. Substitution of 4-OCH3 group in mescaline with CH3 imparted rage producing properties to the compound, whereas mescaline itself did not induce rage [355]. Other compounds with similar effects were: 3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy- and 3,4,5-trimethylphenethyl-amines [66, 158]. Amines which produced rage response in cats also caused hyperthermia and were readily deaminated by rabbit liver amine oxidase. Pretreatment with MAO inhibitors increased the rage response. Increasing the aliphatic side chain decreased or abolished the rage reaction [158].
