3C-BZ
3C-BZ, also known as 4-benzyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyamphetamine or as 3C-benzscaline, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug and a substituted amphetamine. 3C-BZ was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. Use and effects In Shulgin's book ''PiHKAL'', the dosage range is listed as 25–200 mg and the duration as 18–24 hours. According to anecdotal reports from the substance's entry in PiHKAL, 3C-BZ's effects can vary significantly, ranging from intensified emotions and strange dreams, to effects similar to those of LSD or TMA. Chemistry Synthesis 3C-BZ was originally synthesized by Alexander Shulgin starting from 5-methoxyeugenol (4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenol) through a reaction with benzyl chloride to form the benzyloxy derivative of 5-methoxyeugenol. The obtained benzyl derivative was reacted with tetranitromethane to form 1- -(benzyloxy)-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl2-nitro-1-propene, from which 3C-BZ is obtained by reduction of the nitropropene with lithium aluminium hydride.

Benzscaline
Benzscaline (BZ), also known as 4-benzyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (4-BzlO-3,5-DMPEA), is a serotonin receptor agonist and possible serotonergic psychedelic of the phenethylamine and scaline families. It is a potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor partial agonist, with an affinity (Ki) of 150nM, an activational potency () of 27nM, and an efficacy () of 77%. Its affinity and activational potency were 63- and 370-fold more potent than those of mescaline, respectively, and it was the most potent assessed mescaline analogue. In addition, benzscaline was more efficacious in activating the receptor than mescaline ( = 56% vs. 77%, respectively). Benzscaline does not activate the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor ( = >10,000nM), but does show affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (Ki = 440nM). It also shows high affinity for the rat trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) (Ki = 110nM), but not for the mouse TAAR1 (Ki = 2,400nM), and does not activate the human TAAR1 ( = >10,000nM). T ...

2C-T-33
2C-T-33, also known as 4-(3-methoxybenzylthio)-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a serotonin receptor agonist of the phenethylamine and 2C families. It was first synthesized and described by Daniel Trachsel in 2003. The drug is not known to have ever been tested in humans and its active human doses have not been reported. Pharmacology 2C-T-33 shows high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 1.7nM) and to a much lesser extent for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (Ki = 75nM; 44-fold lower than for 5-HT2A). In terms of serotonin 5-HT2A receptor activation, its is 26nM and its is 40%. Hence, 2C-T-33 acts as a low-efficacy partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. The drug shows higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor but much lower potency and efficacy in activating the receptor compared to 2C-T or 2C-B (which had values of Ki = 6.9–49nM, = 2.0–2.1nM, and = 75–92%). In contrast to most other 2C drugs and serotonergic psychedelics, 2C-T-33 appear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
4-PhPr-3,5-DMA
4-PhPr-3,5-DMA, also known as 4-(3-phenylpropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyamphetamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the phenethylamine and amphetamine families. It is structurally related to the DOx drugs but has one of its methoxy groups in the 3 position instead of 2 position on the phenyl ring and has a bulky substitution at the 4 position of the phenyl ring. The affinities (Ki) of 4-PhPr-3,5-DMA for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors have been reported to be 4nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and 40nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, with approximately 10-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor. Its affinities for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors in the study were approximately 8-fold and 1.6-fold higher than those of DOB, respectively. The drug was a full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor in terms of phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis ( = 109% relative to serotonin). However, in the presence of the serotonin ...

PiHKAL
''PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story'' is a book by Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin published in 1991. The subject of the work is Psychoactive drug, psychoactive phenethylamine Derivative (chemistry), chemical derivatives, notably those that act as psychedelic drug, psychedelics and/or empathogen-entactogens. The main title, PiHKAL, is an acronym that stands for "Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved". The book is arranged into two parts, the first part being a fictionalized autobiography of the couple and the second part describing 179 different psychedelic compounds (most of which Shulgin discovered himself), including detailed synthesis instructions, bioassays, dosages, and other commentary. The second part was made freely available by Shulgin on Erowid while the first part is available only in the printed text. While the reactions described are beyond the ability of people with a basic chemistry education, some tend to emphasize techniques that do not require difficult-to-ob ...

Biscaline
Biscaline, also known as 3,5-dimethoxy-4-phenylphenethylamine, is a monoamine receptor modulator of the phenethylamine family. It is the analogue of mescaline (3,4,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine) in which the methoxy group at the 4 position has been replaced with a phenyl ring. The drug shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor (Ki = 4,021nM). Conversely, it did not bind to the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, or 5-HT2C receptors at the assessed concentrations (Ki = >13,400nM, >10,000nM, and >14,590nM, respectively). It is said to have lacked activational effects on the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors at the assessed concentrations. Biscaline also bound to the α2A-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 797nM), but not to the α1A-adrenergic receptor, the dopamine D2 receptor, or the monoamine transporters (, , or ) at the assessed concentrations (Ki = >7,510–10,550nM). It was a very weak monoamine reuptake inhibitor, with values of 457,000nM for serotonin, 160,000nM for norepine ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
3C (psychedelics)
3C (3C-''x''), also known as 4-substituted 3,5-dimethoxyamphetamines, substituted 3,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine (3,4,5-TMA or TMA-1) analogues, or 3C-scalines, is a general name for the family of psychedelic amphetamines containing methoxy groups at the 3 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. These compounds are analogues of 3,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine (3,4,5-TMA or TMA-1). The 3C drugs are not the amphetamine counterparts of the 2C drugs, which are 4-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamines. Instead, the DOx drugs, which are 4-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamines, are the amphetamine counterparts of the 2C drugs. The 3C drugs are the amphetamine counterparts of substituted mescaline analogues (4-substituted 3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamines). Moreover, in terms of naming with the "3C" prefix, the 3C drugs are generally actually derivatives of TMA-1 with the 4-position methoxy group extended rather than having any 4-position substituent. In this regard, they would be the 3,5-dime ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oral Administration
Oral administration is a route of administration whereby a substance is taken through the Human mouth, mouth, swallowed, and then processed via the digestive system. This is a common route of administration for many medications. Oral administration can be easier and less painful than other routes of administration, such as Injection (medicine), injection. However, the onset of action is relatively low, and the effectiveness is reduced if it is not absorbed properly in the digestive system, or if it is broken down by digestive enzymes before it can reach the bloodstream. Some medications may cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea or vomiting, when taken orally. Oral administration can also only be applied to conscious patients, and patients able to swallow. Terminology ''Per os'' (; ''P.O.'') is an adverbial phrase meaning literally from Latin "through the mouth" or "by mouth". The expression is used in medicine to describe a treatment that is taken orally (but not ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nitroethane
Nitroethane is an organic compound having the chemical formula C2H5NO2. Similar in many regards to nitromethane, nitroethane is an oily liquid at standard temperature and pressure. Pure nitroethane is colorless and has a fruity odor. Preparation Nitroethane is produced industrially by treating propane with nitric acid at 350–450 °C. This exothermic reaction produces four industrially significant nitroalkanes: nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-Nitropropane, 2-nitropropane. The reaction involves free radicals, such as CH3CH2CH2O., which arise via homolysis of the corresponding nitrite ester. These alkoxy radicals are susceptible to C—C fragmentation reactions, which explains the formation of a mixture of products.Sheldon B. Markofsky “Nitro Compounds, Aliphatic” in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'', Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2002. . Alternatively, nitroethane can be produced by the Victor Meyer reaction of haloethanes such as chloroeth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sodium Bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminium Hydride
Sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminium hydride (SMEAH; trade names Red-Al, Synhydrid, Vitride) is a hydride reductant with the formula NaAlH(OCHCHOCH). The trade name Red-Al refers to its being a ''red''ucing ''al''uminium compound. It is used predominantly as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. The compound features a tetrahedral aluminium center attached to two hydride and two alkoxide groups, the latter derived from 2-methoxyethanol. Commercial solutions are colorless/pale yellow and viscous. At low temperatures (below -60°C), the solution solidifies to a glassy pulverizable substance with no sharp melting point. SMEAH is a versatile hydride reducing agent. It readily converts epoxides, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, acyl halides, and anhydrides to the corresponding alcohols. Nitrogen derivates such as amides, nitriles, imines, and most other organonitrogen compounds are reduced to the corresponding amines. Nitroarenes can be converted to azoxyarenes, azoare ...

Lithium Aluminium Hydride
Lithium aluminium hydride, commonly abbreviated to LAH, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula or . It is a white solid, discovered by Finholt, Bond and Schlesinger in 1947. This compound is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, especially for the reduction of esters, carboxylic acids, and amides. The solid is dangerously reactive toward water, releasing gaseous hydrogen (H2). Some related derivatives have been discussed for hydrogen storage. Properties, structure, preparation LAH is a colourless solid but commercial samples are usually gray due to contamination. This material can be purified by recrystallization from diethyl ether. Large-scale purifications employ a Soxhlet extractor. Commonly, the impure gray material is used in synthesis, since the impurities are innocuous and can be easily separated from the organic products. The pure powdered material is pyrophoric, but not its large crystals. Some commercial materials contain mineral oil to inhibit ...
