3-MEC Powder

Brief Intro

3-MEC Powder (3-Methylethcathinone) is a synthetic stimulant belonging to the cathinone class, structurally related to other substituted cathinones like mephedrone and 3-MMC. It acts as a psychostimulant with effects similar to amphetamines, producing increased energy, stimulation, euphoria, and enhanced sociability. The compound is often encountered as a white crystalline powder or hydrochloride salt and is used exclusively for scientific research and analytical purposes. It is not intended for human consumption.

Pharmacology

3-MEC acts primarily as a central nervous system stimulant, with pharmacological effects related to increased release and reuptake inhibition of monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. It produces stimulant effects including increased energy, euphoria, enhanced sociability, and mild empathogenic effects. Like related cathinones, 3-MEC carries risks of neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity with chronic or high-dose use.

Intended Use

3-MEC Powder is intended strictly for laboratory research, including pharmacological, toxicological, and forensic studies. It is not for human consumption. Researchers study 3-MEC to understand its stimulant properties, receptor interactions, metabolism, and potential risks.

Packaging & Shipping
