3,4-Dimethoxyphenethylamine (DMPEA) is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine class. It is an analogue of dopamine where the 3- and 4-position hydroxy groups have been replaced with methoxy groups. It is also closely related to mescaline which is 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine.

DMPEA was first synthesized and assayed by Alexander Shulgin.[1] In his book PiHKAL, he describes DMPEA as producing no effects when tested even with very high doses, such as 1,000 mg orally or 10 mg via intravenous injection.[1] As a result, it can be assumed that it is biologically inactive.[1] However, it has been shown to have some activity as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.[2]

DMPEA occurs naturally along with mescaline in various species of cacti such as San Pedro and Peruvian Torch.[3][4][5]
