I don't know what OP took. Well, these different names for the same structures can be confusing, 6-APDB = "4-desoxy-MDA", 5-APDB = "3-desoxy-MDA". It's been quite a lot of time since David Nichols with team synthesized both so there's enough info on it. Both really don't satisfy me. They feel more like butane analog of MDMA (low affinity to dopamine and noradrenaline compared to serotonin, well, I'm talking about IC-50, not Ki now but it tells the whole story), especially 6-APDB. So, instead of substituting for MDMA, they're like more of a substition for MDAT, MMAI and similar compounds. Well, there really can be no comedown like that from MDMA for reasons I mentioned but it's not like people are looking for something serotoninergic, right? And that's why I called somewhere MMAI only "interesting". Wikipedia won't show enough info on all of these anyway (and with the speed of globalization and considering how old these compounds are in fact - that's strange).
It doesn't substitute (at doses that can be used) MDMA. Maybe it does at very high doses but that is easily explainable then (more of the compound, more DA/NE action but at the same time flooding of 5-HT).
----------------------------------
So what exactly is? 6-APDB or 5-APDB? Or maybe both mixed? That's why I don't like this new suppliers' naming. well, 'Explosion' is another example but everyone knew it was Methylone or rather bk-MDMA. I'm a fucking chemist with my heart and with my soul. I'm getting sick & tired of these stupid names slowly. 6-APDB isn't a great short-cut either by the way.
1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-6-yl)propan-2-amine <- IUPAC name of the structure
For God's sake, does anyone see a reason to call this 6-APDB? Where do those letters come from? Alright, people name more complex compounds differently. Now:
6-(2-Aminopropyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran
6-APDB <- Here it is. Now that was quite a challenge. Now look at this:
14-hydroxy-7,8-dihydromorphinone (non-IUPAC) = oxymorphone
This can be confusing too but 7,8-double bond ketones are simply codeinone/morphinone by history of naming semi-synthetic opioids (well, P. Somniferum synthesizes codeinone too to make codeine from it but never mind). We have a name "oxymorphone" that's well-known. It can have a load of analogs, some are very interesting but let's stick to another well-known:
N-allylnoroxymorphone = Naloxone
I don't know where I'm going with this but my point is naming some "not-so-amazing" street compounds means nothing to me as a chemist. Well, I know this naming mumbling doesn't belong here but it's connected with the topic of "ex-lab-only compounds recently appearing as street drugs". "" can mean to me I will go nuts and aggressive after taking it () and it will sedate me as hell (). No, it's a mellow drug, no fury, no BLAST.
There's a bigger chance that more psychedelic drugs synthesized as analogs of phenethylamines or amphetamines will appear (and it will be not much of a hallucinogen but it will alter mind seriously) than there will be suddenly some totally MDMA substituting drug hitting RC suppliers/streets (where's DOTFM or 2C-TFM-FLY? Only bromine everywhere).
EDIT: I mean, I don't care that much. I don't use anything from some RC suppliers. But I'm totally against free access to drugs like mephedrone, 4-ethylmethcathinone (ephedrone? lol) or 3,4-dimethylmethcathinone to children. This should be like that. That's one thing. The other thing is, it's been so long, I know, when you go and buy amphetamine, cocaine or heroin (whatever one prefers), he's not lured by a dealer with some stupid names. Here slang names started to pop up so you don't say 'heroin' on phone for example, brown sugar heroin scene is still quite niche in my country, you don't go to some district and look for a person sitting on a bench, you call.
So to cut the long story short, I don't like when someone lies to me and I hate that people who don't really know they're doing because they haven't grown up yet (children, adolescents) get such an easy route for addiction now because of idiots who sell mephedrone and other shit to everyone, no matter the age.
