3,4-DMMC (3,4-Dimethylmethcathinone)

3,4-DMMC (3,4-Dimethylmethcathinone) is a designer stimulant compound within the class of replace cathinones. 
It was first detected around 2010 as an analogue of mephedrone and other cathinones. Buy 34 dmmc

As a research chemical, 3,4-DMMC is used in analytical, structural and forensic studies of new psychoactive substances (NPS). It serves as a reference standard in laboratories investigating transporter interactions, metabolites, and spectral identification.

Key Features

• High analytical purity: Typically ≥ 98–99% purity (batch dependent).

• Structurally analogous: Cathinone with methyl groups at the 3- and 4-positions of the phenyl ring.

• Monoamine transporter activity: Works as a substrate/inhibitor of serotonin and noradrenaline transporters; less effect on dopamine reuptake.

• Robust characterization data: Fully characterised by GC/MS, IR, NMR, UV/vis.

• Unique GC retention time: Although IR/UV profiles resemble mephedrone, retention times and fragmentation differ.

• Stable when stored correctly: Maintains integrity when properly covered and protected.

Advantages

1. Reliable reference substance: Use as a calibration and comparison tool in forensic labs.

2. Spectral Challenge: Serves as a challenging analog to test instrument selectivity.

3. Transporter research: Valuable in pharmacology research into serotonin/noradrenaline.

4. Metabolite research: Helps in mapping metabolic pathways in biological samples.

5. Supports forensic investigation: Facilitates the construction of spectral databases for emerging substances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1. What is the mechanism of action of 3,4-DMMC?
In vitro it functions as a substrate/inhibitor of serotonin and noradrenaline transporters; its effect on dopamine reuptake is relatively weaker.

2. Can 3,4-DMMC be analytically distinguished from mephedrone?
Yes. Although the IR/UV profiles can overlap, GC retention times and mass fragmentation make the difference.

3. Is 3,4-DMMC regulated or illegal?
In many countries, 3,4-DMMC is regulated as a designer cathinone. In the US, it is classified as a Schedule I drug as a positional isomer of 4-MEC. 1P-LSD microdose
