Description
2C-EF
2C-EF, also known as 4-(2-fluoroethyl)-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and 2C families. It is the 2C analogue of the DOx psychedelic DOEF. The drug is taken orally. 2C-EF was first described in the literature by Alexander Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved.
While 2C-EF was briefly mentioned by Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), its properties and effects were not described.[4] Subsequently, in his book The Shulgin Index, Volume One: Psychedelic Phenethylamines and Related Compounds, Shulgin listed 2C-EF's dose range as 6 to 12 mg orally and its duration as 12 hours.[1][3] This information was cited via personal communication with M. Mueller in 2006.[3]
2C-EF is metabolized by monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes, including monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and/or monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B).[2] Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) such as phenelzine, tranylcypromine, moclobemide, and selegiline may potentiate the effects of 2C-EF.[2][5] This may result in overdose and serious toxicity.[2][5]
