Lophophine (MMDPEA 3-methoxy-45-methylenedioxyphenethylamine) is a putative psychedelic and entactogen drug of the phenethylamine class. It is the α-demethylated homologue of MMDA and is also closely related to mescaline.Alexander Shulgin originally suggested that lophophine may be a natural constituent of peyote (Lophophora williamsii) due to it being the only logical chemical intermediate for the biosynthesis of several tetrahydroisoquinolines known to be present in this cactus species.
