Chemistry:6-Bromo-MDMA

From HandWiki

6-Bromo-MDMA, also known as 6-bromo-3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine or as 2-bromo-4,5-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (2-Br-4,5-MDMA), is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and MDxx families related to MDMA.[1][2][3] It does not appear to be a serotonin releasing agent like MDMA, but instead to be a serotonin reuptake inhibitor like citalopram, and with much greater serotonin transporter (SERT) affinity than MDMA.[1] Relatedly, 6-bromo-MDMA lacked key MDMA-like behavioral effects in rodents, including hyperlocomotion, enhanced active avoidance conditioning, and increased social interaction.[1] The drug was encountered as a novel designer drug in Europe in 2014.[2][3]
