5-MAPB (1-(benzofuran-5-yl)-N-methylpropan-2-amine) is an entactogenic designer drug similar to MDMA on its structure and effects.[1]

Legality

Canada

5-MAPB is not listed itself in the CDSA but since it is structurally related to MDMA it would be considered illegal in Canada.[2]

China

As of October 2015 5-MAPB is a controlled substance in China.[3]

UK

5-MAPB was originally banned in the UK in June 2013 under a Temporary class drug order.[4] On March 5, 2014 the UK Home Office announced that 5-MAPB would be made a class B drug on 10 June 2014 alongside every other benzofuran entactogen and many structurally related drugs.[5]

Metabolism and toxicity

Little formal knowledge exists on 5-MAPB. It does not share the neurotoxicity of MDA caused by the alpha-methyldopamine metabolite.[6][7][8] A study in rats indicated that the major metabolites of 5-MAPB are 5-APB and 3-carboxymethyl-4-hydroxymethamphetamine.[9]
