2C-T-36, also known as 2C-T-TFM, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(trifluoromethylsulfanyl)phenethylamine, or CYB210010, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and 2C families related to other psychedelics such as 2C-TFM, 2C-T, and 2C-T-21 (2C-T-FE).[2][3]

Alexander Shulgin attempted to synthesise this compound in the 1990s, and mentions it in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) under the entry for 2C-T-21, but was unsuccessful in producing a key intermediate and never assigned it a 2C-T number. This compound was ultimately first synthesised by Geoffrey Varty and colleagues at Irish biopharmaceutical company Helus Pharma (formerly Cybin) in 2023.[3]

It has a Ki of 0.35 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, and an EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration of 4.1 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and 7.3 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, compared to 88 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor.[4] It is a potent, selective, long acting, and orally active agonist for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors and produces psychedelic-like responding in several different animal species.[2][3] The interactions of 2C-T-36 with numerous other receptors and targets have also been described.[2] It has only been studied preclinically as of 2024 and is not known to have been tested in humans.[2][3]

It is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.[5] The drug is not an explicitly controlled substance in the United States.[6]

Related drugs include the deuterated phenethylamine HLP005 (CYB005) and the deuterated substituted tryptamines HLP003 (CYB003) and HLP004 (CYB004).[7][8]
