6-APB
6-APB is a synthetic entactogen of the benzofuran class, structurally related to MDA. First synthesized in 1993 by David E. Nichols as a potential non-neurotoxic alternative to MDMA, it did not see recreational use until over a decade later, when it was briefly sold on the research chemical market under the name "Benzofury." Compared to MDMA, 6-APB is reported to produce stronger psychedelic and visual effects while retaining comparable entactogenic qualities. Wide variability in dose response has been noted.
