3-FEA | Analytical Grade Fluorinated Ethylamphetamine for Research
Product Overview
3-FA research amphetamine (3-Fluoroethamphetamine) is a synthetic ring-substituted fluorinated analog of ethylamphetamine and a prominent member of the phenethylamine class. According to the 3-FEA Wiki, its molecular structure features a fluorine atom substituted at the meta– ($3$-) position of the phenyl ring, combined with an $N$-ethyl modification on the amino group. This unique halogenated and alkylated configuration makes 3-FEA a primary subject of interest for investigators examining entactogenic vs. stimulant monoamine release profiles, structural-activity relationships (SAR), and transporter binding kinetics. It serves as a vital comparative reference standard alongside other fluorinated isomers like 2-FEA and 4-FEA... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Primary Research Applications
3-FA research amphetamine is supplied exclusively for established scientific frameworks, including:
-
Monoamine Transporter Selectivity Assays: In-vitro mapping of the compound’s dual mechanism as a substrate and reuptake inhibitor at the serotonin ($SERT$), dopamine ($DAT$), and norepinephrine ($NET$) transporters, specifically evaluating its enhanced serotonergic release ratio compared to non-ethylated variants.
-
Structural-Activity Relationships (SAR): Investigating how the concurrent addition of an $N$-ethyl group and a meta-fluorine substitution alters the conformation of the phenethylamine backbone and affects its binding pockets.
-
Metabolic & Degradation Tracking: Studying the hepatic enzyme pathways (such as cytochrome P450 mediated $N$-dealkylation) that metabolize 3-FEA into 3-FA and other subsequent metabolites.
Safety, Storage, and Regulatory Compliance
Strict adherence to standard laboratory safety protocols ($GLP$) is required during handling.
