Used primarily as a research chemical in neuroscience studies, this compound functions as a stimulant and entactogen, often explored for its effects on monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. It has been investigated for its potential to induce neurotransmitter release, making it relevant in studies related to mood, cognition, and neuropharmacology. Due to its structural and pharmacological properties, it serves as a tool compound for examining the mechanisms of substituted phenethylamines and their interactions with brain receptors. Its application remains limited to laboratory and analytical settings, with no approved medical use.
