1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-6-yl)propan-2-amine
1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-6-yl)propan-2-amine (6-APDB) is an empathogen phenethylamine structurally related to MDMA. It primarily acts by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, leading to enhanced empathogenic and stimulant effects. The substance has been mainly studied in research and recreational contexts, with limited data on long-term effects.
