2C-iBu is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the 2C family of phenethylamines. It is known for its psychoactive effects, which are similar to other compounds in the 2C series, such as 2C-B and 2C-I.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
2C-iBu is chemically classified as a phenethylamine, characterized by a phenyl ring bound to an amino group through an ethyl chain. The structure of 2C-iBu includes two methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the phenyl ring and an isobutyl group at the 4 position. This structural configuration is responsible for its unique pharmacological properties.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
2C-iBu acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to be the primary site of action for its psychedelic effects. The compound's interaction with serotonin receptors leads to alterations in perception, mood, and cognition, which are characteristic of psychedelic experiences.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 2C-iBu are similar to those of other 2C compounds, producing visual and auditory hallucinations, altered thought processes, and changes in emotional states. Users may experience enhanced sensory perception, synesthesia, and a sense of euphoria. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.
Dosage and Administration[edit | edit source]
2C-iBu is typically administered orally, although other routes of administration are possible. The effective dose range is not well-established due to limited research, but it is generally considered to be active at doses similar to other 2C compounds. Users should exercise caution due to the potential for adverse effects and the lack of comprehensive safety data.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 2C-iBu varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to other regulated phenethylamines. Users should be aware of the legal implications of possessing or distributing 2C-iBu in their region.
Safety and Toxicity[edit | edit source]
There is limited information on the safety and toxicity of 2C-iBu. As with other psychedelics, there is a potential for psychological distress, including anxiety and paranoia, especially at higher doses. The long-term effects of 2C-iBu use are not well understood, and caution is advised.
Related Compounds[edit | edit source]
