25H-NBOMe, also known as NBOMe-2C-H, is a derivative of the phenethylamine hallucinogen 2C-H, which acts as a highly potent full agonist for the human 5-HT2A receptor.[2]
Use and effects
[edit]The active dose range of 25H-NBOMe in humans has not been reported and hence is unknown.[3] This is in notable contrast to many other NBOMe drugs.[3]
Toxicity and harm potential
[edit]NBOMe compounds are often associated with life-threatening toxicity and death.[4][5] Studies on NBOMe family of compounds demonstrated that the substance exhibit neurotoxic and cardiotoxic activity.[6] Reports of autonomic dysfunction remains prevalent with NBOMe compounds, with most individuals experiencing sympathomimetic toxicity such as vasoconstriction, hypertension and tachycardia in addition to hallucinations.[7][8][9][10][11] Other symptoms of toxidrome include agitation or aggression, seizure, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, hypertonia, rhabdomyolysis, and death.[7][11][5] Researchers report that NBOMe intoxication frequently display signs of serotonin syndrome.[12] The likelihood of seizure is higher in NBOMes compared to other psychedelics.[6]
NBOMe and NBOHs are regularly sold as LSD in blotter papers,[5][13] which have a bitter taste and different safety profiles.[7][4] Despite high potency, recreational doses of LSD have only produced low incidents of acute toxicity.[4] Fatalities involved in NBOMe intoxication suggest that a significant number of individuals ingested the substance which they believed was LSD,[9] and researchers report that "users familiar with LSD may have a false sense of security when ingesting NBOMe inadvertently".[7] While most fatalities are due to the physical effects of the drug, there have also been reports of death due to self-harm and suicide under the influence of the substance.[14][15][7]
Given limited documentation of NBOMe consumption, the long-term effects of the substance remain unknown.[7] NBOMe compounds are not active orally,[a] and are usually taken sublingually.[17]: 3 When NBOMes are administered sublingually, numbness of the tongue and mouth followed by a metallic chemical taste was observed, and researchers describe this physical side effect as one of the main discriminants between NBOMe compounds and LSD.[18][19][20]Neurotoxic and cardiotoxic actions
[edit]Many of the NBOMe compounds have high potency agonist activity at additional 5-HT receptors and prolonged activation of 5-HT2B can cause cardiac valvulopathy in high doses and chronic use.[5][10] 5-HT2B receptors have been strongly implicated in causing drug-induced valvular heart disease.[21][22][23] The high affinity of NBOMe compounds for adrenergic α1 receptor has been reported to contribute to the stimulant-type cardiovascular effects.[10]
In vitro studies, 25C-NBOMe has been shown to exhibit cytotoxicity on neuronal cell lines SH-SY5Y, PC12, and SN471, and the compound was more potent than methamphetamine at reducing the visibility of the respective cells; the neurotoxicity of the compound involves activation of MAPK/ERK cascade and inhibition of Akt/PKB signaling pathway.[6] 25C-NBOMe, including the other derivative 25D-NBOMe, reduced the visibility of cardiomyocytes H9c2 cells, and both substances downregulated expression level of p21 (CDC24/RAC)-activated kinase 1 (PAK1), an enzyme with documented cardiac protective effects.[6]
Preliminary studies on 25C-NBOMe have shown that the substance is toxic to development, heart health, and brain health in zebrafish, rats, and Artemia salina, a common organism for studying potential drug effects on humans, but more research is needed on the topic, the dosages, and if the toxicology results apply to humans. Researchers of the study also recommended further investigation of the drug's potential in damaging pregnant women and their fetus due to the substance's damaging effects to development.[24][25]Emergency treatment

25H-NBOMe acts as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors.[38][28]
Its affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 2.83 nM) was 133-fold higher than that of 2C-H and 24-fold higher than that of 25H-NB (N-benzyl-2C-H), whereas it was 4-fold lower than that of 2C-I and 64-fold lower than that of 25I-NBOMe.[28] In terms of activational potency at the receptor, the drug's potency (EC50 = 15.3 nM) was 67-fold higher than that of 2C-H, whereas it was 6-fold lower than that of 2C-I and 35-fold lower than that of 25I-NBOMe.[28] Hence, unlike other NBOMe drugs, 25H-NBOMe appears to have affinity and activational potency at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor more in line with the 2C psychedelics like 2C-I and much lower than NBOMe drugs like 25I-NBOMe.[28]
25H-NBOMe produces hyperlocomotion, a stimulant-like effect, and the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[32][38][39] Its potency in inducing the head-twitch response was variably lower than that of other NBOMe drugs like 25I-NBOMe and 25B-NBOMe.[38][32] Conversely, its potency in inducing hyperlocomotion was about the same as that of 25I-NBOMe and 25C-NBOMe.[38] The drug has also been found to produce antidepressant-like effects in rodents.[39] 25H-NBOMe has shown reinforcing effects in rodents.[38][40] This included conditioned place preference (CPP) and self-administration.[38][40]
History
[edit]25H-NBOMe was first described in the scientific literature by Ralf Heim at the Free University of Berlin by 2003.[27]
Society and culture
[edit]Legal status
[edit]Sweden
[edit]The Riksdag added 25H-NBOMe to Narcotic Drugs Punishments Act under swedish schedule I ("substances, plant materials and fungi which normally do not have medical use") as of August 1, 2013, published by Medical Products Agency (MPA) in regulation LVFS 2013:15 listed as 25H-NBOMe, and 2-(2,5-dimetoxifenyl)-N-(2-metoxibensyl)etanamin.[41]
United Kingdom
[edit]This substance is a Class A drug in the United Kingdom as a result of the N-benzylphenethylamine catch-all clause in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.[42]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ The potency of N-benzylphenethylamines via buccal, sublingual, or nasal absorption is 50- to 100-fold greater (by weight) than oral route compared to the parent 2C-x compounds.[16] Researchers hypothesize the low oral metabolic stability of N-benzylphenethylamines is likely causing the low bioavailability on the oral route, although the metabolic profile of this compounds remains unpredictable; therefore researchers state that the fatalities linked to these substances may partly be explained by differences in the metabolism between individuals.[16]

Recently, a new class of psychedelic compounds named NBOMe (or 25X-NBOMe) has appeared on the illegal drug market. NBOMes are analogs of the 2C family of phenethylamine drugs, originally synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, that contain a N-(2-methoxy)benzyl substituent. The most frequently reported drugs from this group are 25I-NBOMe, 25B-NBOMe, and 25C-NBOMe. NBOMe compounds are ultrapotent and highly efficacious agonists of serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki values in low nanomolar range) with more than 1000-fold selectivity for 5-HT2A compared with 5-HT1A. They display higher affinity for 5-HT2A receptors than their 2C counterparts and have markedly lower affinity, potency, and efficacy at the 5-HT2B receptor compared to 5-HT2A or 5-HT2C.
