Buy 3-MEC Powder (3-Methylethcathinone) is a highly potent, novel synthetic substituted cathinone and a critical reference standard in neuropharmacological and forensic research. Structurally, it is a dual-modified analog: it is the N-ethyl analog of the well-documented 3-MMC (3-Methylmethcathinone), and simultaneously the 3-methyl positional isomer of 4-MEC (4-Methylethcathinone).
Buy 3-MEC Powder (3-Methylethcathinone) is a highly potent, novel synthetic substituted cathinone and a critical reference standard in neuropharmacological and forensic research. Structurally, it is a dual-modified analog: it is the N-ethyl analog of the well-documented 3-MMC (3-Methylmethcathinone), and simultaneously the 3-methyl positional isomer of 4-MEC (4-Methylethcathinone).
In neuropharmacological research, the positioning of the methyl group on the aromatic ring (3-position vs. 4-position) fundamentally alters the molecule’s selectivity at monoamine transporters, while the N-ethyl substitution modifies its lipophilicity and metabolic stability. In vitro, 3-MEC functions as a mixed catecholamine reuptake inhibitor and releasing agent, exhibiting a distinct pharmacokinetic profile that bridges stimulant and entactogenic pathways. Supplied as a stable hydrochloride powder, this format allows for precise volumetric dosing and streamlined assay preparation. Note: This product is strictly intended for in-vitro research and analytical purposes only.
3-MEC Powder is exclusively designated for in-vitro (outside a living organism) research and analytical applications. Common laboratory applications include:
Disclaimer: This product is not for human or veterinary consumption. It must only be handled in controlled laboratory environments by qualified professionals.
We guarantee a purity level of ≥ 98% for our 3-MEC Powder. Every batch undergoes rigorous, independent third-party testing to verify chemical identity, absolute purity, and the absence of dangerous residual solvents, heavy metals, or unreacted precursors. Because substituted cathinones are prone to degradation, special analytical care is taken to ensure minimal presence of oxidation products. Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are provided upon request.
WARNING: 3-MEC IS A HIGHLY POTENT CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM STIMULANT AND ENACTOGEN. EXTREME CAUTION IS REQUIRED.
3-MEC Powder is sold strictly as a research chemical and is not approved by the FDA, EMA, or any equivalent regulatory body for human or veterinary use.
It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the acquisition, possession, and use of 3-Methylethcathinone comply with all local, state, national, and international laws. Warning: 3-MEC is a potent central nervous system stimulant. Ingestion can cause severe, life-threatening cardiovascular events, hyperthermia, acute serotonin syndrome, and neurotoxicity. It may fall under federal analogue acts or specific substituted cathinone/NPS legislation in various jurisdictions. We do not ship to regions where this compound is explicitly prohibited. By purchasing from us, you affirm that you are a qualified researcher or institutional buyer over the age of 18, and you assume all legal liability for the product upon delivery.
Q1: What is 3-MEC?
A: 3-MEC (3-Methylethcathinone) is a synthetic substituted cathinone. It is the N-ethyl analog of 3-MMC and the 3-methyl positional isomer of 4-MEC. It features a methyl group at the meta-position of the phenyl ring and an ethyl group on the nitrogen. It acts as a mixed monoamine reuptake inhibitor/releasing agent in vitro.
Q2: What makes 3-MEC different from 3-MMC or 4-MEC?
A: 3-MEC bridges two distinct structural modifications. Compared to 3-MMC, it has an N-ethyl group instead of an N-methyl group, which alters its lipophilicity and metabolic stability. Compared to 4-MEC, it has the methyl group in the 3-position (meta) rather than the 4-position (para). This is critical, as meta-substituted cathinones generally exhibit different DAT/SERT selectivity ratios than para-substituted cathinones, making it essential for comparative SAR research.
Q3: Can 3-MEC Powder be consumed?
A: Absolutely NOT. 3-MEC is a potent stimulant/entactogen research chemical. It is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory and analytical research. Ingestion can cause unpredictable, severe cardiovascular and psychological effects, including acute serotonin syndrome, and is strictly prohibited.
Q4: Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA)?
A: Yes. We provide a comprehensive CoA—including HPLC, GC/MS, and NMR data—for every batch we sell. This guarantees the identity, purity, and safety of the compound.
Q5: Is it legal to buy 3-MEC in my country?
A: Legality varies drastically by country and is subject to change. Because it is closely structurally related to scheduled cathinones like mephedrone (4-MMC) and 3-MMC, it is often controlled under analogue acts or specific NPS bans. We cannot provide legal advice. It is your responsibility to research your local laws regarding this compound before placing an order.
Q6: How should I store 3-MEC Powder for long-term research?
A: For maximum longevity, store 3-MEC powder in an airtight, amber glass vial under an inert gas (like Argon) in a freezer set to -20°C. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
