Trifluoromescaline (TFM) is a derivative of the phenethylamine psychedelic mescaline, which has a 4-trifluoromethoxy group replacing the 4-methoxy group of mescaline. It was found to be one of the most potent compounds in the scaline series, with a reported dose of 15 to 40 mg (and 60 mg being described as a "strong overdose"), and a slow onset of action and long duration of effects, lasting 14 to 24 hours or more.[2] The drug showed about 36-fold greater activational potency at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor compared to mescaline in vitro.[3] In addition, it appears to be much more lipophilic than mescaline (predicted log P = 1.9 vs. 0.7, respectively).[4][5] TFM was first described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel by 2012.[1][2] Many other related compounds have also been described by Trachsel and colleagues.[6][1][2]
