What is 6-APB?

6-APB – also known as 6-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran or “Benzofury” – is a novel empathogen (a chemical that produces feelings of connectedness and empathy) of the benzofuran class (similar to chemicals such as 5-MAPB and 5-APB).

6-APB was first synthesised back in 1993 by David Nicholls in the hopes of finding a non-neurotoxic alternative to MDMA (which has the potential to induce neurotoxicity in humans).

Whether or not 6-APB is less neurotoxic than MDMA is still up for debate, as stated in the Sept 2020 study “Beyond ecstasy: Alternative entactogens to MDMA with potential applications in psychotherapy“:

We highly recommend reading this study if you’re interested in the pharmacology of Benzofurans. It is the most comprehensive analysis of this chemical class and their similarities/differences to MDMA to date and a very interesting read!

What are the effects of 6-APB?

The subjective effects of 6-APB are generally reported as very similar to MDMA and 5-MAPB. It is often seen as slightly more stimulating than 5-MAPB, while 5-MAPB is usually described to be more euphoric.

6-APB is significantly longer acting than MDMA. Most experiments tend to last between 7-10 hours; while MDMA lasts between 3-6 hours, often leading to compulsive redosing. Both 5-MAPB and 6-APB are commonly reported as having a less severe “comedown” than MDMA.

Some of the most commonly reported effects of 6-APB are:

• Stimulation & Sedation
• Spontaneous physical sensations
• Feels of interconnectedness and heightened empathy
• Stamina enhancement
• Colour enhancement

Some of the potential side-effects include:

• Increased bodily temperature
• Vibrating vision
• Increased perspiration
• Dehydration
• Dry mouth
• Difficulty urinating
• Pupil dilation
• Temporary erectile dysfunction
• Teeth grinding
• Anxiety
• Appetite suppression
