6-EAPB is a potent monoamine reuptake inhibitor.2 It shows very low potency as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist.2

Society and culture

As an N-ethyl derivative of 6-APB, 6-EAPB fell outside the scope of the Temporary Class Drug ban issued by the Home Office on June 10, 2013.3 The ACMD has advised that 6-EAPB (and other benzofurans) are moved to Class B,4 this came into action on 10 June 2014.5
