Fluoroproscaline (FP), also known as 4-(3-fluoropropoxy)-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline.[1][2] It is a fluorinated derivative of proscaline.[1][2][3] The drug has a dose range of 60 to 150 mg and a duration of 3 to 5 hours.[1][2] It is less potent than proscaline but more potent than mescaline and is much shorter-acting than proscaline or mescaline.[1][2] The receptor interactions of fluoroproscaline have been studied.[4][1][2] It is a low-affinity and low-potency agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[4][1][2] The chemical synthesis of fluoroproscaline has been described.[3] The drug was first described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel in 2002.[2][1][3] The pharmacology of fluoroproscaline was studied in greater detail in 2021.[4] It is not a controlled substance in Canada as of 2025.[5]

A fluorinated analog of proscaline (79) [3] was also investigated.[86] At the cloned [3 H]ketanserin-labelled serotonin h5-HT2A receptor fluoroproscaline (80: Ki= 8792nM) showed only low affinity and in humans, fluoroproscaline (80: 60–150 mg, 3–5 h) was distinctly less potent and of shorter duration than proscaline (79: 30–60 mg, 8–12 h). Similarly, limited trials suggest that trifluoroproscaline (81: 66 mg or more) might be less potent as well. The preparation of difluoroisoproscaline (82), a fluoro analog of the psychedelic derivative isoproscaline (83),[3] has been achieved.[5]
