Description
Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25765500 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25447185

5-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran (5-APB) is an empathogenic psychoactive compound of the substituted benzofuran, substituted amphetamine and substituted phenethylamine classes. 5-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran is a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor and serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent. The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 5-APB use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown/ 5-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran 's high affinity for the 5-HT2b receptor makes it likely that 5-APB would be cardiotoxic with long-term use, as seen in other 5-HT2B agonists such as fenfluramine and MDMA.

400mg leads to fatal intoxication in human
Route of Administration: Oral
Inhibition of the human NET, DAT and SERT was assessed in HEK 293 cells that were stably transfected with the transporters. Cells were suspended in uptake buffer. We incubated the cells for 10 min with different concentrations of the test compounds (5-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran) and then added the corresponding [3H] monoamine (5 nM final concentration) at room temperature. After 10 min, we stopped uptake by separating the cells from the buffer using centrifugation through silicone oil. The centrifugation tubes were frozen in liquid nitrogen and cut to separate the cell pellet from the silicone oil and assay buffer layers. The cell pellet was then lysed. Scintillation fluid was added, and radioactivity was counted on a β-counter.

Indeed all drugs and drug metabolites that induce heart valvular disease in humans activate 5-HT2B receptors in vivo and in vitro and this activity is thought to be important for the development of fibrotic lesions upon chronic human administration.
