title: Ring-substituted beta-methoxyphenethylamines: a new class of psychotomimetic agents active in man.
abstract: Four members of a new class of psychotomimetic agents have been synthesized and evaluated in man. These compounds, which incorporate a beta-methoxy group onto a beta-phenethylamine sidechain, are the first reported psychotomimetics which are structural analogues of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline. These substances are more potent than the corresponding phenethylamines (lacking a beta-methoxy group) but less potent than the correspondingly substituted amphetamine derivatives.
