2CT21
2CT21 is a designation that has been applied to a particular strain or variant of the 2C-T family of psychedelic phenethylamines. The 2C-T compounds are characterized by a 2,5-dimethoxy substitution on the benzene ring and a sulfur atom incorporated into the ethylamine side chain. Specifically, 2CT21 refers to 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(2-propylthio)phenethylamine. Like other compounds in the 2C-T series, it is known for its psychedelic effects, which typically involve altered perception, mood, and thought processes. Information regarding the specific pharmacological profile, potency, and subjective effects of 2CT21 is less extensively documented than some of its more widely studied counterparts. Research into novel psychoactive substances often involves synthesis and preliminary characterization, with detailed human studies being less common for many compounds. Its psychoactive properties are understood to stem from interactions with serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, a common mechanism of action for psychedelic drugs. Due to its status as a research chemical, its legal status can vary significantly by jurisdiction, and it is generally not approved for medical use.
