25O-NBOMe, also known as 2,4,5-TMPEA-NBOMe or as N-(2-methoxybenzyl)-2,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator and putative psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and 25-NB (NBOMe) families. [1] [2] [3] It is the N-(2-methoxybenzyl) derivative of 2C-O (2,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine). [1] [2] [3]

The drug is known to act as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor partial agonist, with an EC50 Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration of 1.02 to 7.24 nM and an Emax Tooltip maximal efficacy of 57 to 129%. [1] [2] [3] It activated the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor with 191- to 309-fold higher potency than 2C-O in vitro . [3] 25O-NBOMe robustly and dose-dependently induces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in mice, with an ED50 Tooltip median effective dose of 0.70 mg/kg. [3] For comparison, in other studies in mice, the ED50 of 25I-NBOMe was 0.078 mg/kg (9-fold lower) [4] and of 25D-NBOMe was 0.23 mg/kg (3-fold lower). [5]

25O-NBOMe was first described in the scientific literature by 2009. [2]
