Used primarily in scientific research as a psychoactive compound, this chemical acts as a hallucinogen and stimulant. It is studied for its effects on serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, which helps researchers understand neural pathways related to perception and mood. Due to its structural similarity to known psychedelics like DOI and 2C-B, it is often used in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to explore how small changes in molecular structure affect pharmacological activity. It has no approved medical use and is not intended for human consumption. Its availability is typically restricted to licensed laboratories for forensic or pharmacological research.
