Psychedelic drug
Pharmaceutical compound
F-2 , also known as 6-(2-aminopropyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran or as benzofuran-2-methyl-5-methoxy-6-(2-aminopropane) , is a chemical compound and possible psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine , amphetamine , and benzofuran families.[ 1] It is the derivative of 6-APDB with a methyl group at the 2 position and a methoxy group at the 5 position of the benzofuran ring system .[ 1]
In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved ), Alexander Shulgin lists F-2's dose as greater than 15 mg orally and its duration as unknown.[ 1] The drug produced no effects at assessed doses of up to 15 mg.[ 1] Higher doses were not tested.[ 1] It is unknown whether F-2 is active.[ 1] On the other hand, David E. Nichols reported in 1981, via personal communication with Shulgin and M. Trampota in 1980, that F-2 was "shown to possess clinical activity".[ 2]
F-2 has been found to substitute for the psychedelic drug DOM in drug discrimination tests in rats.[ 1] [ 3] [ 4] However, it was about 40-fold less potent than DOM in this regard, requiring a dose of 5 mg/kg.[ 1] For comparison, F-2 was tested in humans at doses of only up to 0.2 mg/kg.[ 1] In contrast to the case of rats, F-2 at doses of up to 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally in mice was without effects.[ 1] A dose of 150 mg/kg intraperitoneally in mice was lethal.[ 1]
The chemical synthesis of F-2 has been described.[ 1]
Analogues of F-2 include DOPR , 6-APDB , MMDA-2 , F (F-1), and F-22 , among others.[ 1]
F-2 was first described in the scientific literature by David E. Nichols in 1981 via personal communication with Alexander Shulgin and M. Trampota in 1980.[ 2] Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Nichols and colleagues in 1986[ 3] and 1991[ 4] and by Shulgin in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved ) in 1991.[ 1] Shulgin briefly alluded to F and its derivatives in a paper in 1971.[ 5]
