BOD, also known as4-methyl-2,5,β-trimethoxyphenethylamine or asβ-methoxy-2C-D, is apsychedelic drug of thephenethylamine,2C, andBOx families.[1] It is the β-methoxyderivative of2C-D.[1] The drug is takenorally.[1]
In his bookPiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved),Alexander Shulgin lists BOD's dose range as 15 to 25 mgorally and itsduration as 8 to 16 hours.[1] Its reported effects include mildopen-eye and moderateclosed-eye visual changes, enhancement ofconversation and sense ofhumor, and unpleasant physical effects such asnausea andlethargy.[1]
Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of BOD.[1]
Thechemical synthesis of BOD has been described.[1]
Analogues of BOD includeBOHD (β-hydroxy-2C-D) andBOB (β-methoxy-2C-B), among others.[1]
BOB was first described in thescientific literature byAlexander Shulgin,Peyton Jacob III, andDarrell Lemaire in 1985.[2] Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Shulgin in his 1991 bookPiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved).[1]
This substance is a Class A drug in theDrugs controlled by the UK Misuse of Drugs Act.[3]
