Entactogen drug
Pharmaceutical compound
1,3-Benzodioxolylbutanamine (BDB ), also known as3,4-methylenedioxy-α-ethylphenethylamine or asJ , is anentactogen of thephenethylamine ,phenylisobutylamine , andMDxx families related toMDMA .[ 1] [ 2]
In his bookPiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved ),Alexander Shulgin lists the dose range as 150 to 230 mgorally and theduration as 4 to 8 hours.[ 1] BDB produces entactogenic, MDMA-like effects.[ 1] Although pleasant andeuphoric , BDB is also fairlysedating and some users feel that the lack ofstimulant effect makes it less enjoyable than other similar drugs.[ 1] Additionalside effects associated with BDB includenystagmus anddizziness .[ 1] Very little data exists about thepharmacological properties,metabolism , andtoxicity of BDB.[ 1]
Receptor andtransporter interaction data have been reported for BDB.[ 3] [ 4] It acts as aserotonin–norepinephrine releasing agent (SNDRA) with only weak effects ondopamine .[ 4] Animal studies andanecdotal reports have found that BDB is a slightly morepotent serotonin releasing agent than itsmethylated sistercompound methylbenzodioxylbutanamine (MBDB; "Eden", "Methyl-J").[ 5]
BDB, also known as 1,3-benzodioxolylbutanamine or as 3,4-methylenedioxy-α-ethylphenethylamine, is aphenethylamine ,α-ethylphenethylamine (phenylisobutylamine), andmethylenedioxyphenethylamine (MDxx) related toMDMA .[ 1] It is theα -ethyl analogue of3,4-methylenedioxyphenethylamine (MDPEA) and3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and the 3,4-methylenedioxy derivative ofα-ethylphenethylamine (AEPEA).[ 1]
Analogues of BDB includeMBDB (methyl-J),EBDB (ethyl-J),1,3-benzodioxolylpentanamine (BDP; K),MBDP (methyl-K),EBDP (ethyl-K), andMPAP (PDBP; propyl-K), among others.[ 1]
BDB was first described in thescientific literature by at least 1973.[ 6]
Society and culture [ edit ] Rather than as arecreational drug itself, BDB is more commonly known as ametabolite of theN -alkylated analogues MBDB andethylbenzodioxylbutanamine (EBDB; "Ethyl-J"), which have appeared in MDMA or "ecstasy" tablets.[ 7] [ 8] Although BDB itself has not been reported as being sold as "ecstasy", urine analysis of users suggest that this drug may have appeared as a street drug, though it is unclear whether the positive urine test for BDB resulted from consumption of BDB itself or merely as a metabolite of MBDB.[ 9]
BDB is illegal inGermany (Anlage I ).
