4-Hydroxy-3-methoxymethamphetamine (HMMA) is an active metabolite of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).[1][2][3] It is a slightly more potent stimulant than MDMA in rodents.[4] The drug is substantially less potent than MDMA as a monoamine releasing agent in vitro.[5][6] Nonetheless, HMMA has been found to induce the release of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine with EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration values of 589 nM, 625 nM, and 607–2884 nM, respectively, and hence acts as a lower-potency serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA).[5][6] The predicted log P of HMMA is 1.2.[7]
