ariadne (drug) ariadne (drug) ariadne (also known as 4c-d, 4c-dom, α-et-2c-d, bl-3912, or dimoxamine) is a little-known psychoactive drug. it is a homologue of the psychedelics 2c-d and dom. ariadne was first synthesized by alexander shulgin. in his book pihkal, shulgin reported testing ariadne up to a dose of 32 mg, and reported that it produced "the alert of a psychedelic, with none of the rest of the package". very little published data exists about the human pharmacology of ariadne apart from shulgin's limited testing; unpublished human trials reportedly observed some psychoactive effects, but no hallucinations. ariadne names preferred iupac name 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)butan-2-amine other names 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-alpha-ethylphenethylamine4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxybutanamine identifiers cas number 52842-59-8 y 3d model (jsmol) interactive imageinteractive image chemspider 148565 y pubchem cid 169886 unii 09426zto78 y comptox dashboard (epa) dtxsid30967314 inchi inchi=1s/c13h21no2/c1-5-11(14)7-10-8-12(15-3)9(2)6-13(10)16-4/h6,8,11h,5,7,14h2,1-4h3 ykey: mlycfwziajaigw-uhfffaoysa-n yinchi=1/c13h21no2/c1-5-11(14)7-10-8-12(15-3)9(2)6-13(10)16-4/h6,8,11h,5,7,14h2,1-4h3/t11-/m1/s1key: mlycfwziajaigw-llvkdonjbyinchi=1/c13h21no2/c1-5-11(14)7-10-8-12(15-3)9(2)6-13(10)16-4/h6,8,11h,5,7,14h2,1-4h3key: mlycfwziajaigw-uhfffaoyax smiles o(c1cc(c(oc)cc1c(n)cc)c)co(c1cc(c(oc)cc1cc(n)cc)c)c properties chemical formula c13h21no2 molar mass 223.316 g·mol−1 except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °c , 100 kpa). y verify (what is yn ?) infobox references shulgin reported that the drug was tested by bristol laboratories as an antidepressant, in an anecdote where he was explaining how human testing is invaluable (compared to animal testing) on drugs that change the state of the mind. he said, "before they launched into a full multi-clinic study to determine if it's going to be worth the animal studies or not, every person on the board of directors took it." in animal studies, ariadne was shown to produce stimulus generalization in rats trained to respond to mdma or lsd.
