Unlike most psychedelics, efavirenz is not a [[tryptamine]], [[phenethylamine]] or [[lysergamide]]. Efavirenz is classified as a benzoxazine and has several different moieties which give it a unique pharmacological profile. On the two position of the benzoxazine ring, efavirenz has a ketone attached. Efavirenz also has a trifluoromethyl group as well as a cyclopropane ring.
