TCB-2 or (R)-(4-Bromo-3,6-dimethoxybenzocyclobuten-1-yl)methylamine is a conformationally resticted derivative of the phenethylamine derived hallucinogen 2C-B, discovered in 2006 by a team at Purdue University. It acts as a potent agonist for the 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptors with a Ki of 0.26nM at the human 5HT2A receptor. In drug-substitution experiments in rats, TCB-2 was found to be of similar potency to both LSD and Br-DFLY, ranking it among the most potent phenethylamine hallucinogens yet discovered.[1]
