Lophophine, also known as 2C-MMDA-1, 5-methoxy-MDPEA, or 3-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyphenethylamine (MMDPEA or MMDPEA-1), is a psychedelic drug of the methylenedioxyphenethylamine family. It is the α-demethylated homologue of MMDA, and is also closely related to mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) and MDPEA. Lophophine has been encountered as a novel designer drug.

==Use and effects== Alexander Shulgin reported in PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications that lophophine is active in the dose range of 150 to 250mg orally. He states that at these doses, lophophine has some similarity to mescaline in action, in producing a peaceful elevation of mood, euphoria, and mild enhancement of visual perception, but without the generation of closed-eye mental imagery. Shulgin also notes that, in contrast to mescaline, lophophine causes no nausea. He estimated that it was about twice the potency of mescaline.
