2C-C is a 2,5-dimethoxy phenethylamine with a chlorine atom at the 4 position of the aromatic ring. A known hallucinogen, this compound stimulates monoamine receptor activity and inhibits the re-uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in rat brain synaptosomes. 2C-C-NBOMe is a derivative of 2C-C having an N-(2-methoxybenzyl) addition at the amine. This addition increases the affinity and selectivity for the 5-HT2A receptor over other serotonin receptors. Radiolabeled 2C-C-NBOMe has been used for positron emission tomography imaging of the 5-HT2A receptor in porcine brain.This product is intended for forensic and research uses.
