3-FMC Powder Research Chemical

3-FMC (3-Fluoromethcathinone) is a synthetic stimulant from the cathinone class, commonly used in analytical, forensic, and neurochemical research. It features a fluorine atom on the 3rd position of the phenyl ring, modifying its dopamine transporter (DAT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET) affinity compared to non-halogenated analogs like Methcathinone or Mephedrone.

This product is supplied strictly for certified research purposes and is not intended for human consumption.

🔬 What is 3-FMC?

3-Fluoromethcathinone, abbreviated as 3-FMC, is a fluorinated derivative of methcathinone. It is part of a broader family of synthetic stimulants that mimic the effects of classical amphetamines in controlled laboratory conditions.

Researchers use 3-FMC to study:

• Monoamine transporter interactions

• Metabolic pathways of substituted cathinones

• Structural activity relationships of halogenated phenethylamines

Its unique structure makes it a valuable reference standard in mass spectrometry and toxicological investigations.
