Empathogens
Research chemical guide: effects, safety, and compound information
What are Empathogens?
Empathogens (entactogens) are substances that produce feelings of emotional openness, empathy, and enhanced sensory perception. They typically affect serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine systems.
Common Effects
Safety Information
Can cause serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Ensure proper hydration.

Laboratory Safety Guidelines
Handling Precautions
- Always use proper laboratory equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood
- Use analytical scales for precise measurements
- Store compounds according to manufacturer specifications
Testing
Always verify substance identity using reagent testing kits or analytical methods such as:
- Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
- Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
- Reagent color testing (Marquis, Ehrlich, etc.)
Legal Considerations
The legal status of Empathogens varies significantly by jurisdiction. Many countries have implemented analogue acts or blanket bans on entire chemical families.
Important: Always verify the legal status of specific compounds in your jurisdiction before ordering. EuroChems only ships to countries where compounds are legal for research purposes.
