3C-FE, also known as 4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-3,5-dimethoxyamphetamine or as 3C-fluoroescaline, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and 3C families.[1][4][5][3][2] It is the amphetamine (α-methyl) derivative of the psychedelic drug fluoroescaline (FE).[1][3][2]

According to Daniel Trachsel in his book Phenethylamine: von der Struktur zur Funktion and other publications, 3C-FE is inactive at doses of up to 24 mg orally, but has not been sufficiently investigated.[1][2] Hence, its properties and effects in humans remain unknown.[1][2][3]

The drug shows weak affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 5,987–12,000 nM and 8,400–>10,000 nM, respectively).[3][1][2] It is an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors (EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration (EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy) = 120 nM (102%) and 800 nM (29%), respectively).[2]

The chemical synthesis of 3C-FE has been described.[5]

3C-FE was first described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel in 2002.[5][1][3]
