Chemistry
Proscaline is in a class of compounds commonly known as phenethylamines, and is the 4-propyloxy homologue of mescaline. The full name of the chemical is 4-propyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine.
Effects
Proscaline produces psychedelic effects that can last 12 hours.
Pharmacology
The mechanism that produces proscaline’s hallucinogenic and entheogenic effects is unknown, though is most likely attributable to 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptor agonism, among others.
Popularity
Proscaline is virtually unknown on the black market. Limited accounts of proscaline can be found in journal articles, and in the book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved).
Legality
Proscaline is unscheduled and unregulated in the United States, however its close similarity in structure and effects to mescaline could potentially subject possession and sale of proscaline to prosecution under the Federal Analog Act.
