4-Bromomethcathinone (4-BMC, Brephedrone) is a psychoactive drug and research chemical of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone chemical classes. It acts as a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA), and to a lesser degree, as a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI) [1] [2] . Cathinones, including 4-BMC, possess neurotoxic and cytotoxic properties. [3]
