2C-B-AN
A detailed overview of the chemical compound 2C-B-AN
2C-B-AN is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the 2C family of phenethylamines. It is structurally related to 2C-B, a well-known psychedelic, but features an additional amine group, which alters its pharmacological properties.
Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]
2C-B-AN, or 2-(4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanamine, is characterized by the presence of a bromine atom at the 4-position of the phenyl ring, and two methoxy groups at the 2- and 5-positions. The compound also contains an ethanamine chain, which is a common feature in the 2C series.
Molecular Formula: C10H14BrNO2
Molecular Weight: 260.13 g/mol
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
2C-B-AN is believed to act primarily as a partial agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, similar to other psychedelics in the 2C series. This interaction is thought to be responsible for its psychoactive effects, which include alterations in perception, mood, and cognition.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 2C-B-AN are not as well-documented as those of more common psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin. However, anecdotal reports suggest that it produces a range of effects including:
- Visual and auditory hallucinations
- Altered sense of time and space
- Euphoria and emotional release
- Increased introspection
Safety and Toxicity[edit | edit source]
As with many research chemicals, the safety profile of 2C-B-AN is not well-established. Users should exercise caution and be aware of the potential for adverse effects, which may include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Anxiety and paranoia
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 2C-B-AN varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it may be considered a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to other banned phenethylamines. Researchers and users should verify the legal status in their specific location before handling the compound.
History and Research[edit | edit source]
2C-B-AN was first synthesized in the late 20th century as part of ongoing research into the 2C family of compounds. It has been studied primarily in the context of its potential as a tool for understanding the mechanisms of psychedelic action in the brain.
