2,3,5,6-Tetramethoxyphenethylamine (2,3,5,6-TeMPEA), also known as TeMPEA-3, is a drug of the phenethylamine family related to the psychedelic drug mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine).[1] It is one of the possible positional isomers of tetramethoxyphenethylamine (TeMPEA).[1]

The in-vitro metabolism and effects of TeMPEA-3 on behavior in animals have been studied.[1][2][3] Unlike mescaline, TeMPEA-3 was inactive in the conditioned avoidance response test in rats.[1][4] The effects of TeMPEA-3 in humans have not been reported and are unknown.[1]

The drug was first described in the scientific literature by 1955.[1][5] TeMPEA-3 was included as an entry in Alexander Shulgin's 2011 book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds.[1] It is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.[6]
