'''6-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran''' (also known as '''6-APB''' and '''"Benzofury"''') is a novel [[psychoactive class::entactogen]] substance of the [[chemical class::benzofuran]] class. It is structurally related to entactogens like [[MDA]], [[MDMA]], [[5-APB]], and [[5-MAPB]]. | '''6-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran''' (also known as '''6-APB''' and '''"Benzofury"''') is a novel [[psychoactive class::entactogen]] substance of the [[chemical class::benzofuran]] class.

6-APB was first synthesized in 1993 by [[David E. Nichols]] as a potential non-neurotoxic alternative to [[MDMA]].<ref name="Nichols">Monte, A. P., Marona-Lewicka, D., Cozzi, N. V., & Nichols, D. E.

It was sold along with other novel benzofuran entactogens under the name "Benzofury" before its sale and import were subsequently banned.{{citation needed}} | ||
[[Subjective effects]] include [[anxiety suppression]], [[disinhibition]], [[muscle relaxation]], and [[euphoria]]. 6-APB's effects are commonly compared to those of [[MDA]] and other entactogens. | [[Subjective effects]] include [[anxiety suppression]], [[disinhibition]], [[muscle relaxation]], and [[euphoria]]. 6-APB's effects are commonly compared to those of [[MDA]] and other entactogens. | ||
