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 and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, [1] [2] but acts more like an antidepressant than a stimulant. [3] Some 4- halogenated cathinones seem to share the selective serotonergic neurotoxicity of their corresponding amphetamine analogues. [4]
As of October 2015, 4-BMC is a controlled substance in China. [5] 4-Bromomethcathinone is considered a Schedule 1 substance in Virginia. [6]
