1,3-Dimethylbutylamine (1,3-DMBA), or simply dimethylbutylamine (DMBA), is a stimulant drug structurally related to methylhexanamine (1,3-dimethylamylamine (1,3-DMAA)) where a butyl group replaces the amyl group. It is also known as AMP Citrate (4-amino-2-methylpentane citrate). The compound is an aliphatic amine.

DMBA has been identified as an unapproved ingredient in some over-the-counter dietary supplements,[2][3][4] in which it is used in an apparent attempt to avoid laws prohibiting the use of methylhexanamine.[5] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers any dietary supplement containing DMBA to be "adulterated".[6]

There are no known human safety studies on DMBA and its health effects are entirely unknown.[2][3][7]
