Methylhexanamine, commonly known as 1,3-dimethylamylamine or DMAA, is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH(CH3)NH2. Methylhexanamine is a simple aliphatic amine initially patented as a nasal decongestant and as a topical treatment for hypertrophied or hyperplastic oral tissues. [2] Methylhexanamine is a vasoconstrictor, and can be administered by inhalation to the nasal mucosa to exert its effect.
Methylhexanamine has also been marketed extensively under many names as a dietary supplement, [3] [4] [5] but its safety has been questioned as a number of adverse events and at least 5 deaths have been associated with methylhexanamine-containing supplements. [6] In April 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned supplement makers that it was illegal to market methylhexanamine as a dietary supplement, and warned consumers of potentially serious health risks associated with methylhexanamine-containing products.
