Chemistry:6-APBT

From HandWiki

6-(2-Aminopropyl)-1-benzothiophene (6-APBT) is a monoamine releasing agent and serotonin receptor agonist of the amphetamine and benzothiophene families.[1][2] It is related to MDA and other MDA bioisosteres like the benzofurans.[1][2]

The drug acts as a potent and well-balanced serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA) and full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors.[2] 6-APBT does not increase locomotor activity in rodents and hence does not appear to have stimulant-like effects.[2] However, it does produce the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, and hence may have hallucinogenic effects.[2]

6-APBT was first described in the scientific literature by 2020.[1][2]
