3-Methylmethcathinone (3-MMC) Powder

3-Methylmethcathinone, commonly abbreviated as 3-MMC and also known as metaphedrone, is a synthetic substituted cathinone belonging to the β-ketoamphetamine class of compounds. With the systematic IUPAC name 2-(methylamino)-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-1-one and molecular formula C₁₁H₁₅NO (CAS: 1246911-86-3 for freebase; 1246816-62-5 for hydrochloride salt), 3-MMC features a distinctive meta-methyl substitution on the phenyl ring, distinguishing it structurally from related analogs such as 4-methylmethcathinone.

Offered here as a high-purity, fine white to off-white crystalline powder, our 3-MMC is intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research, analytical reference standard use, forensic applications, and neurochemical studies investigating monoamine transporter interactions, structure-activity relationships among cathinones, or comparative pharmacological profiling.

Key research characteristics include its role as a monoamine releaser and reuptake inhibitor with notable selectivity toward catecholamines. Researchers may explore its properties in controlled experimental settings to better understand substituted cathinone mechanisms, receptor binding profiles, or metabolic pathways.
