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.

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.
