4-Methoxybutyrfentanyl
Aliases: 4-meo-bf, 4-meo-butryfentanyl, 4-MeO-Butyrfentanyl
Summary
4-MeO-BF is a highly potent fentanyl analogue first identified in Europe in 2015. Fatal blood concentrations have ranged 2-18 ng/mL, only modestly lower than fentanyl itself. Street material varies wildly in purity; volumetric dosing with a 1 mg/mL (or weaker) solution and a 0.01 mL oral syringe is strongly advised - never eyeball powder.

Effect Profile
Scores (1–10) curated from multiple sources:
- Effect keyword matching from PsychonautWiki catalog
- Weighted by importance: core (×3), major (×2), minor (×1)
Strong euphoria and pain relief with moderate itching/nausea, low sedation
Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
Opioid tolerance builds rapidly with daily/frequent exposure and decays over weeks; risk of overdose is highest after abstinence due to loss of tolerance. Data specific to 4βMeOβBF are sparse; estimates extrapolated from fentanyl-class opioids.
