Interactions

BK-2C-B, βk-2C-B or beta-keto 2C-B is a psychedelic drug and entheogen of the phenethylamine class of compounds. It is structurally related to 2C-B and BOB. This compound is relatively uncommon and has little to no history of human usage prior to its 2014 sale as a research chemical by online vendors. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of BK-2C-B.

The effects of this compound were first described by Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story. He lists the dosage range as 40mg to 60mg orally and describes the duration of action to be 8 - 12 hours.

Pharmacology

Main article: Serotonergic psychedelic

Methallylescaline acts as a 5-HT_2A partial agonist. The psychedelic effects are believed to come from methallylescaline's efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptors. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

Toxicity and harm potential

Lethal dosage

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational methallylescaline use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the median lethal dose (LD50) is unknown. This is because methallylescaline is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from those who have used escaline would suggest that there are little to no immediate or short-term negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug at low to moderate doses or using it very sparingly. The validity of these statements, however, cannot be confirmed.

Tolerance and addiction potential

The addictive potential of methallylescaline has not yet been formally studied, but anecdotal evidence would suggest that methallylescaline is not physically addictive. Many users describe a self-regulating quality and commonly report a tolerance build up when using the drug consecutively many days in a row. A build up in tolerance may lead to weakened effects and a diminished experience, however, this effect is nearly non-existent when consumption periods are spaced 5-7 days apart.
