4C-B, also known as 4C-DOB or DOB-B, as well as 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxy-α-ethylphenethylamine, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, phenylisobutylamine, and 4C families related to 2C-B and DOB.[1] It is a reasonably potent 5-HT2A receptor partial agonist with a Ki of 7.6 nM, but has relatively low efficacy (15% relative to 5-HT).[2] It is briefly mentioned in Alexander Shulgin's book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved) but was never tested by him,[3] however it has subsequently been tested by Daniel Trachsel and colleagues and was found to be active in a dose range of 50 to 80 mg with a duration of around 8 hours, producing pronounced psychedelic effects, though with generally milder effects than 2C-B or DOB.[4]

Das α-Ethylhomologon von 2C-B (6) trägt den Namen (303; auch 4C-B) und wurde von Rausch eingehender untersucht [140, 145]. Es vermochte eine ausgeprägte psychedelische Wirkung mit Bewusstseinsvertiefung, Euphorie und Sensationen besonders im Bereich des Tastsinns hervorzurufen (50—80mg, rund acht Stunden Wirkdauer). Visuelle Pseudohalluzinationen traten kaum auf. Das Iodoanalogon DOI-B (304) wurde nur bis zu einer Dosierung von 4mg geprüft und zeigte dabei keinerlei Wirkungen [8].
