6-APB: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

'''6-APB''' '''(6-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran''' or '''benzofury''') is a [[stimulant]] and [[Psychoactive class::entactogen]]ic [[research chemical]] of the [[Chemical class::phenethylamine]], [[Chemical class::Substituted amphetamines|amphetamine]] and [[Chemical class::benzofuran|benzofuran]] classes. It is a close synthetic analogue of [[MDA]] and broadly shares the characteristic of serotonin-dominated triple monoamine releasers/inhibitors associated with other [[entactogen]]ic or [[empathogen]]ic compounds.

6-APB was first synthesized and studied in 1993 by [[David E. Nichols]] as a potential non-neurotoxic alternative to [[MDMA]]. It did not come into popular recreational use until over a decade later, where briefly entered the rave scene and "legal highs" market in the UK before its sale and import were subsequently banned. Because 6-APB and other substituted benzofurans have not been explicitly outlawed in some countries, they are often technically legal, contributing to their popularity as a substitute or replacement for [[MDMA]] or [[MDA]].
