N-Cyclohexyl butylone and N-cyclohexyl methylone are cathinones found on the street that produce morbidity and mortality, but are not yet legally controlled, and there has been little or no pharmacological testing of these compounds. Both compounds have a large moiety on the N-position that may alter their pharmacological effects. Locomotor stimulant effects of N-cyclohexyl butylone and...
New synthetic tryptamine derivatives have emerged in the underground market. They act on serotonin receptors mimicking the effects of hallucinogenic drugs such as DOM. The DEA has identified three tryptamine derivatives of concern, 5-MeO-DBT, 5-Cl-DMT, and 4-OH-MiPT. Swiss Webster mice were tested for locomotor activity. Discriminative stimulus effects were tested in male Sprague-Dawley rats...
Despite the efforts of the Drug Enforcement Administration to safeguard the public from hazardous analogs of synthetic hallucinogens, these compounds have increasingly been observed in the illicit drug market. Four novel compounds were found to be similar in structure to the previously described 25X-NBOMe synthetic hallucinogens. These four compounds, 25B-NBOH, 25C-NBOH, 25E-NBOH, and 25I-NBOH...
Aims: Benzofurans are used recreationally, due their ability to cause psychostimulant and/or entactogenic effects, but unfortunately produce substantial adverse effects, including death. Three benzofurans 5-(2-aminopropyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (5-APDB), 5-(2-aminopropyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (5-MAPB) and 6-(2-aminopropyl) benzofuran (6-APB) were tested to determine their behavioral effects in...
