4-MTA, 4-Methylthioamphetamine, P 1882

A class of drugs known as 4-methylthioamphetamine, or 4-MTA, was developed in the 1990s by a group led by David Nichols, a medical and pharmacologist at Purdue University. It is a non-psychoactive serotonin releasing agent that can be safely used in animals.

Although 4-MTA was initially developed for research, it was later revealed that it can be used as a dangerous drug. According to Nichols, he was shocked to learn that the drug was being used as a gateway to illicit substances. He said he was sad to see that the drug had become a common illicit substance.

For his study, Nichols aimed to find a way to use 4-MTA in psychotherapy. He was motivated by the idea that it could help treat depression. Through his research, he was able to develop molecules that have similar structures to 4-MTA. From 1992 to 1997, he and his team published multiple studies on the effects of 4-MTA in rats. They also believed that it could be used as a replacement for the antidepressant drug Prozac.

Without the knowledge of the researchers, other people were able to produce 4-MTA by adding it to tablets that were known as flatliners. According to Nichols’ laboratory, the rats that were exposed to 4-MTA experienced the same effects as ecstasy. He also stated that he had no concerns about the safety of his work.
