3,4-Dimethylmethcathinone (3,4-DMMC) is a stimulant drug first reported in 2010 as a designer drug analogue of mephedrone, apparently produced in response to the banning of mephedrone, following its widespread abuse in many countries in Europe and around the world.[1] 3,4-DMMC has been seized as a designer drug in Australia.[2] In vitro, 3,4-DMMC was shown to be a monoamine transporter substrate that potently inhibits norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake, and to a lesser extent dopamine reuptake.[3]

[edit]

As of October 2015 3,4-DMMC is a controlled substance in China.[4]

3,4-DMMC is banned in the Czech Republic.[5]

In the United States 3,4-DMMC is considered a Schedule I controlled substance as a positional isomer of 4-Methylethcathinone (4-MEC).[6]
