2C-N

A series of 2,5-phenethylamines, collectively referred to as 2Cs, have psychoactive effects. The most effective 2C compounds are 2,5-dimethoxy-4-substituted phenethylamines; many are regulated as illegal substances. 2C-N is described formally as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenethylamine and is structurally analogous to the psychedelic drug 2C-B. 2C-N potently stimulates arachidonic acid release through the serotonin receptors 5-HT_2C (pEC₅₀ = 5.91) and 5-HT_2A (pEC₅₀ = 4.78). This product is intended for forensic and research applications.

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-nitrophenethylamine is a phenylethylamine of the 2C family of psychedelics and is known to be a potent 5-HT2A receptor agonist.
