Text Abstract (this page) Full Text - English (private) Show Articles by Dal Cason TA Article IDs Erowid RefID: 8219 PubMedID: 11376983 Collections Hofmann Collection MDMA Collection All References	Abstract Recently, tablets inscribed with the Mitsubishi 3-diamond logo, and sold as 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine MDMA, were found to contain p-methoxymethamphetamine PMMA, a compound with MDMA-like effects. Shortly after this first submission, similarly inscribed tablets were encountered containing both PMMA and p-methoxyamphetamine PMA. This second tablet composition has been implicated in several recent deaths in the US. Because two other positions are available for mono-methoxy substitution on the phenyl ring, it is essential that the correct identification be made for these compounds. Analytical data are supplied to enable differentiation of these ring isomers as well as the ketones that serve as their precursors.
