'''25I-NBOMe''' (also known as '''2C-I-NBOMe''', '''NBOMe-2C-I''', '''Cimbi-5''' and '''N-Bomb''') is a novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] chemical class that produces an array of visually-dominant and stimulating [[psychedelic]] effects when [[Routes of administration|administered]].  
'''25I-NBOMe''' (also known as '''2C-I-NBOMe''', '''NBOMe-2C-I''', '''Cimbi-5''', '''Smiles''', and one of many drugs referred to as '''N-Bomb''') is a novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] chemical class that produces an array of visually-dominant and stimulating [[psychedelic]] effects when [[Routes of administration|administered]].  


The name 25I-NBOMe, which short-hand for 2C-I-NBOMe, is a derivative of the phenethylamine psychedelic [[2C-I]]. It was first synthesized and documented in 2003 by Ralf Heim at the Free University of Berlin.<ref name="Ralf Heim PhD. (2010-02-28)">Ralf Heim PhD.

It is worth noting that compounds of the [[25x-NBOMe|NBOMe]] family should be administered [[sublingual|sublingually]] by placing and holding it into one's mouth and allowing it to absorb over a period of 15-25 minutes.
It is worth noting that compounds of the [[25x-NBOMe|NBOMe]] family (any of which could be referred to as "N-Bomb", especially 25I-NBOMe and [[25N-NBOMe]]) should be administered [[sublingual|sublingually]] by placing and holding it into one's mouth and allowing it to absorb over a period of 15-25 minutes.


Extremely little is known about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 25I-NBOMe in humans. It had no history of human use before being sold online as a [[designer drug]] in 2010.{{citation needed}}. It has been associated with many deaths and hospitalizations. Anecdotal reports suggest that this substance may be difficult to use safely due to its highly sensitive dose-response and unpredictable effects.

Among psychedelics, this compound is considered to be pharmacologically unique in terms of the high potency, affinity, and selectivity with which it binds to the 5-HT2a receptor.<ref name="pmid21174090" /> Contrary to popular belief, it is not a "full agonist"{{citation needed}}, although questions have been raised about how the effects it produces differ from other 5-HT2a partial agonists, which include the range of traditional psychedelics.
