PMMA (para-Methoxymethamphetamine or 4-MMA) is a molecule of the [[substituted amphetamine|amphetamine]] class. Molecules of the amphetamine class contain a phenethylamine core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH<sub>2</sub>) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at R<sub>α</sub>. It contains a methoxy (OCH<sub>3</sub>) functional group bound to the R<sub>4</sub> carbon of the phenyl ring, as well as a methyl substitution at R<sub>N</sub>. | PMMA (para-Methoxymethamphetamine or 4-MMA) is a molecule of the [[substituted amphetamine|amphetamine]] class.
