5-APB is commonly found as the succinate and hydrochloride salt. The hydrochloride salt is 10% more potent by mass so doses should be adjusted accordingly. | 5-APB is commonly found as the succinate and hydrochloride salt.

5-APB is a benzofuran and phenethylamine, so it has an ethylamine chain and a furan ring attached to the main benzene ring. It can also be classified as an amphetamine derivative because the ethylamine chain is alpha methylated. Molecules of the amphetamine class contain a [[phenethylamine]] core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at R<sub>α</sub>. The oxygen in the furan ring is placed at the 5 position, which generally constitutes more stimulating effects than when the oxygen is placed at the 6 position, which is usually described as being more [[psychedelic]] in effects. | 5-APB is a benzofuran and phenethylamine, so it has an ethylamine chain and a furan ring attached to the main benzene ring.
