2CBCB-NBOMe, or NBOMe-TCB-2, is a serotonin receptor modulator and cyclized phenethylamine.^[1]^[2] It is the NBOMe derivative of the psychedelic drug TCB-2 (2C-BCB).^[1]^[2]

Interactions

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

2CBCB-NBOMe acts as a potent and selective agonist of the serotonin 5-HT_2A and 5-HT_2C receptors, with an affinity (K_i) of 0.27 nM at the human serotonin 5-HT_2A receptor, similar to that of other drugs such as TCB-2, 25I-NBOMe, and Bromo-DragonFLY.^[1]^[2]

History

2CB2CB-NBOMe was first described in the scientific literature by the lab of David E. Nichols and colleagues in 2007.^[1]^[2] It was part of an ongoing research program focused on mapping of the specific amino acid residues responsible for ligand binding to the serotonin 5-HT_2A receptor.^[1]^[2]
