5-MAPBT (also known as 5-(2-methylaminopropyl)benzothiophene) is a psychoactive drug and research chemical of the benzothiophene class. It is structurally related to compounds such as 5-APB and 5-MAPB, which are known for their entactogen and stimulant effects.

Chemistry

5-MAPBT is a benzothiophene derivative, which is a type of organic compound. It is structurally related to other benzothiophene derivatives such as 5-APB and 5-MAPB. The compound contains a methylaminopropyl group attached to the benzothiophene ring. The exact chemical formula of 5-MAPBT is C12H15NOS.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological profile of 5-MAPBT is not fully understood. However, it is believed to act as a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI), similar to related compounds. This means it may increase the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake into neurons.

Effects

The effects of 5-MAPBT are largely unknown due to its status as a research chemical. However, anecdotal reports suggest it may produce effects similar to other entactogens and stimulants, including increased energy, euphoria, enhanced sensory perception, and empathogenic effects.
