Chemistry:25T4-NBOMe

From HandWiki

25T4-NBOMe, also known as N-(2-methoxybenzyl)-4-isopropylthio-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a serotonergic psychedelic of the 25-NB (NBOMe) family.[1][2][3][4] It is the NBOMe analogue of 2C-T-4.[1][2][3][4]

Use and effects

25T4-NBOMe's reported active dose range has been described as 150 to 1,200 μg, with a typical dose estimate of 500 μg.[5] The route is sublingual administration.[5]

25T4-NBOMe acts as a highly potent and selective agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors.[7][8] Its affinities and activities at a variety of other receptors and transporters have also been described.[7]

History

25T4-NBOMe was first described in the scientific literature by at least 2012.[10]

Society and culture

Canada

25T4-NBOMe is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.[11]
