4F-MABP
Aliases: 4-fbp, Para-fluorobuphedrone
Summary
4F-MABP is a little-studied fluorinated analogue of buphedrone first identified on the European NPS market in 2014. Animal data and seizure analyses show it acts as a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor comparable in potency to flephedrone. Human reports are scarce; effects resemble other short-acting cathinones with rapid onset euphoria, strong urge to redose, and an uncomfortable crash.
