6-EAPB, also known as 1-(benzofuran-6-yl)-N-ethylpropan-2-amine, is a potentially psychedelic and potentially entactogenic drug of the benzofuran class;[1] it is structurally related to 6-APB and MDMA.

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

6-EAPB is a potent monoamine reuptake inhibitor.[2] It shows very low potency as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist.[2]

Society and culture

As an N-ethyl derivative of 6-APB, 6-EAPB fell outside the scope of the Temporary Class Drug ban issued by the Home Office on June 10, 2013.[3] The ACMD has advised that 6-EAPB (and other benzofurans) are moved to Class B,[4] this came into action on 10 June 2014.[5]
