About 6-APB Powder
6-APB (6-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran), commonly known as Benzofury, is a benzofuran-class research compound. Full Certificate of Analysis.
Compound Class & Mechanism
6-APB Powder belongs to the Phenethylamine / Substituted phenethylamine structural class. Substituted phenethylamine derivatives that exhibit activity at serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline receptor systems. The phenethylamine class includes mescaline analogues, benzofuran derivatives, and fluorinated amphetamine references, each with distinct receptor binding profiles relevant to monoamine pharmacology research.
At Best Chems, 6-APB Powder is produced under rigorous quality-control conditions and independently verified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before each batch is released. Every order is shipped with a printed Certificate of Analysis confirming compound identity, purity (≥99%), batch number, analytical method, and analysis date. This documentation is essential for researchers maintaining GLP-compliant records and for institutions requiring full traceability from synthesis to laboratory bench.
6-APB Powder is supplied to research laboratories, university chemistry departments, forensic science organisations, pharmaceutical R&D teams, and analytical chemistry laboratories across Germany, the Netherlands, and the EU. It is listed in the Phenethylamines category alongside 2 structurally related reference compounds, enabling direct comparative analytical work from a single trusted supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions — 6-APB Powder
What is 6-APB Powder?
6-APB Powder is a substituted phenethylamine research compound used as an analytical reference standard in neurochemistry, forensic toxicology, and receptor pharmacology research. Phenethylamines of this structural class act primarily at serotonin 5-HT2 receptors and monoamine transporter systems, making them valuable tools for understanding monoaminergic neurotransmission. They were extensively characterised by Alexander Shulgin in PiHKAL.
What purity is 6-APB Powder?
6-APB Powder is independently HPLC-verified to ≥99% purity before dispatch. NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry characterisation data are available. A Certificate of Analysis is included with every order, documenting compound identity, purity, batch number, analytical method, and analysis date.
How should 6-APB Powder be stored?
6-APB Powder should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct light and moisture, in its original sealed packaging. Include desiccant if storing for extended periods. Properly stored, the compound is stable for 24+ months.
What analytical techniques can 6-APB Powder be used with?
6-APB Powder is suitable for HPLC, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, and NMR analytical applications as a reference standard. It is also used in in vitro receptor binding assays, cell-based functional pharmacology assays, and comparative SAR studies within the phenethylamine family.
