'''Methylhexanamine''' (also known as '''1,3-dimethylamylamine''', '''1,3-DMAA''', and '''2-amino-4-methylhexane''') is a lesser-known novel [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[chemical class::amine]] class. It has structural similarities to [[Amphetamine|amphetamine]] and is most notably used in dietary supplements related to resistance training. It is thought to produce its effects by increasing levels of the [[neurotransmitters]] [[epinephrine]], [[norepinephrine]], and to a lesser extent, [[dopamine]] in the brain.

{{historyStub}}
Methylhexanamine was developed by Eli Lilly & Co. and marketed starting in 1948 as an inhaled nasal decongestant. The company voluntarily withdrew it by the 1970s.<ref>https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/1157413</ref>
For a molecule to be legally used in a dietary supplement in the United States, it must be naturally occurring and have a documented history of use prior to 1994.
In 1996, a study found methylhexanamine to be contained in trace amounts in geranium oil.<ref>Ping, Z., Jun, Q., & Qing, L. (1996). A study on the chemical constituents of geranium oil. Journal of Guizhou Institute of Technology, 25(1), 82-5.</ref>
These findings were subsequently not reproduced in multiple peer-reviewed publications.<ref>https://scribd.com/document/82744576/DMAA-Health-Canada-2011</ref>
 
Starting in 2006, methylhexanamine was used in several marketed sport supplements, most famously ''Jack3d'' by ''USPlabs''.
In April 2013, the FDA warned about methylhexanamine after 86 reports of heart problems, nervous system disorders, or death, and motioned manufacturers to stop using the substance.<ref>https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/stimulant-potentially-dangerous-health-fda-warns?source=govdelivery</ref>
The US Department of Defense published an investigation into methylhexanamine following the death of four soldiers which were linked with the substance in recreational doses.<ref>Lammie, C. J., & Lead, S. P. (2013). Report of the Department of Defense 1, 3 Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) Safety Review Panel. The Pentagon: US Department of Defense, 97-98.</ref>

Methylhexanamine is synthesized by reacting 4-methylhexan-2-one with hydroxylamine, which converts the 4-methylhexan-2-one to 4-methylhexan-2-one oxime, which is reduced with hydrogen by means of a catalyst; the resulting methylhexanamine can be purified by distillation.

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, methylhexanamine is usually considered to be extremely energetic and stimulating in a fashion that is extremely similar to that of [[amphetamine]] or [[methamphetamine]], and stronger than that of [[modafinil]], [[caffeine]], and [[methylphenidate]]. It is similar to the stimulation experienced on racemic or the levorotorary form of [[amphetamine]] or the racemic [[methamphetamine]], encouraging physical activities such as dancing, socializing, running, or cleaning. The particular style of stimulation which methylhexanamine presents can be described as forced or pressing and is noticeably more [[adrenaline|adrenergic]] and tense on the body. This means that at higher dosages, it becomes difficult or impossible to keep still as jaw clenching, involuntarily bodily shakes and vibrations become present, resulting in extreme shaking of the entire body, unsteadiness of the hands, and a general lack of motor control.

Although It is similar to the stimulation experienced on racemic or the levorotorary form of [[amphetamine]] or the racemic [[methamphetamine]], the stimulation that methylhexanamine presents can be also described as more physically stimulating rather than mentally, this is due to it being mainly focused on the [[neurotransmitters]] [[norepinephrine]] and [[epinephrine]], encouraging physical activities such as dancing, socializing, running, or cleaning. The particular style of stimulation which methylhexanamine presents can be described as forced or pressing and is noticeably more [[adrenaline|adrenergic]] and tense on the body as mentioned before. This means that at higher dosages, it becomes difficult or impossible to keep still as jaw clenching, involuntarily bodily shakes and vibrations become present, resulting in extreme shaking of the entire body, unsteadiness of the hands, and a general lack of motor control.

*'''[[Effect::Vasoconstriction]]''' - Propylhexedrine has been noted by users as being particularly vasoconstrictive in comparison to other stimulants. It has been speculated that this is due to its higher affinity for [[noradrenaline]] relative to stimulants such as [[amphetamine]].

The comedown experienced on methylhexanamine is rather more physical than cognitive due to the increase in [[epinephrine]].
