Brolamfetamine (also known as DOB, bromo-DMA, and 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylisopropylamine) is one of a vast number of compounds used recreationally to achieve hallucinogenic effects. Brolamfetamine is one of the most potent hallucinogens, with its hallucinogenic potency directly linked to its abuse potential. Brolamfetamine acts as a partial agonist of 5HT2A, 5HT2B, 5HT2C, and TAAR1 receptors, but it’s psychedelic effects are mainly mediated by its agonistic properties at the 5-HT2A receptor. Animal studies have shown physiologic effects including hypertension, tachycardia, hyperpyrexia, pupillary dilatation, and peripheral vasoconstriction. In general, Brolamfetamine having a similar effect to LSD, with slower onset (up to 3–4 h to peak intoxication) and longer duration of effect (up to 36 h). Brolamfetamine is not commonly available, through periods of higher circulation were reported in Australia in 1983, Ireland in 2003, and in Italy in 2015. Brolamphetamine, as well as many other synthetic hallucinogens, are increasingly being sold as LSD. Internationally Brolamfetamine is a Schedule I drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Due to its selectivity, Brolamfetamine is often used in scientific research when studying the 5-HT2 receptor subfamily.

Amfonelic acid (AFA) is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Experiments on rats have shown that AFA treatment completely prevented the effects of methamphetamine on the dopaminergic system, both morphologically and biochemically.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin mushrooms. Once ingested, psilocybin is rapidly metabolized to the psilocin, which then acts on serotonin receptors in the brain. Psilocybin was identified as the active hallucinogenic compound in magic mushrooms in 1959, but humans have used assorted psilocybin mushrooms in religious ceremonies since prehistoric times. In the 1960's psilocybin was marketed for use as a treatment for various psychoses, however, it was withdrawn from the market when the regulatory environment changed. Recently there has been as renewed interest in studying the medicinal uses of psilocybin for treatment of anxiety, depression, migraine headaches, addictions, and other neuropsychiatric conditions.

N,N-Dimethyl-5-Methoxytryptamine (aka 5-MeO-DMT) is a psychedelic of the tryptamine class. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and a single psychoactive toad species, the Colorado River toad. Like its close relatives DMT and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America. It can also be found in the dart poison traditionally used by the Yanoama Indians of Upper Orinoco. It acts as a non-selective serotonin (5-HT) agonist. -MeO-DMT is O-demethylated by polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) to an active metabolite, bufotenine. 5-MeO-DMT is classified as a controlled substance in China, Australia, Sweden, Turkey, and the USA.

Harmine (aka telepathine) is a fluorescent harmala alkaloid belonging to the beta-carboline family of compounds. It is a naturally occurring metabolite in a number of plants, notably the Middle Eastern plant harmal or Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) and the South American vine Banisteriopsis caapi. Harmine is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), but not MAO-B. Harmine has been found to have potential anti-cancer and neuroprotective properties, and also promotes differentiation of osteoblasts and chondrocytes while inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Harmine has also been used as a C-11 labeled probe in positron emission tomography.

Growth hormone releasing hexapeptide (GHRP-6) is a synthetic met-enkephalin analog that induces the release of growth hormone in vivo through binding of the ghrelin receptor. GHRP-6 increases proliferation in astrocytes through a mechanism that involves PI3K/Akt signaling. GHRP-6 also inhibits development of restraint stress-induced gastric lesions and reverses ovariectomy-induced effects on serum glucose and insulin levels. Additionally, GHRP-6 decreases locomotor activity and increases food intake in vivo. Essentially a synthetic version of ghrelin analogue, GHRP-6 (like GHRP-2) stimulates the release of an endogenous growth hormone (GH) within the somatotropes of the anterior pituitary in the animal and human body. Specifically, GHRP-6 will increase the number of somatotropes in a GH pulse by limiting the amount of somatostatin present, while standard GHRH increases the amplitude at which the pituitary cells pulse. Unlike ghrelin, GHRP-6 is not specifically used to increase appetite, but it may have secondary actions that impact hypothalamic neurons. These effects last for approximately an hour after the initial application, which mimics the natural application of GH, and consists of an eight hour circulation period. In studies GHRP-6 has shown biological actions similar to the naturally occurring hunger stimulating peptide ghrelin. Its main use is to promote food intake by stimulating hunger and aid in energy metabolism. It can be used in the treatment of GH deficiency as well as cachexia, eating disorders and obesity. GHRP-6 is a synthetic met-enkephalin (a naturally occurring opioid growth factor) analog. GHRP-6 contains D-amino acids that are entirely synthetic, lacks opioid activity, and shares no sequence relation with GHRH. It has also been shown that GHRP-6 can lead to re-stimulation of the natural production of HGH. Studies have shown that GHRP-6 increases the secretion of IGF-1 (InsulinLike Growth Factor 1) by the liver, which is speculated to be a required component in the anabolic mechanisms leading to the action of HGH. It also appears that GHRP-6 has positive implications for the central nervous system, as ghrelin is known to protect neurons.

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.

JTE-907 is selective high-affinity cannabinoid CB2 receptor inverse agonist. JTE-907 showed a concentration-dependent increase of forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in CHO cells expressing human and mouse CB2 in vitro. In mice model of atopic dermatitis, JTE-907 suppresses spontaneous itch-associated responses of NC mice without adverse effects such as weight loss.
