N-Benzoyl-beta-methoxy-benzeneethanamine

Not sure, but I'd put my bet on (very?) weak stimulant, since N,a-dimethyl-benzethanamide is good old methamphetamine.

I can't find the exact structure, but is it shown on this page?: b-methyl-benzeneethanamine

btw- what a horrible name for a drug.
 
b-methyl we discused elsewhere on BL and i recall it was noted by FnB to be more or less inactive (mild MAOB-I at high dose, the chloro variant has some effect there i think)

the variant above is beta-methoxy with a N-Benzoyl

not a drug, something friends of mine have isolated from a plant recently (minute amount) and i was curious on the structure and what possible stim characteristics might be expected
 
was the correct structure shown on the right side of the page that I linked to?

If the beta-methyl version was an MAOI, don't you suppose that the methoxy version will be more or less the same, perhaps altering the potency?
 
no, that again was the methyl variant

i have heard otherwise that a methoxy at the beta (alkyloxys in general) actually will work different than simply the methyl perhaps due to their size and possibly have something more similar to the methylation on the alpha (not quite as 'effective'), though again i have no firm confirmation on this

also i was curious if anyone would have anything to reference to speculate on the effect a benzoyl conugation to the amine would have
 
IMO the N-benzoyl is not active. It is an amide, and has no basic properties, which are necessary for PEA's to interact with the receptor.
And the amide is not readily cleaved metabolically, as esters are.
