I · Summary
What is known
Published passages, each quoted whole and attributed to the database that published it. Two blocks are written here rather than quoted, and both say so where they stand: the synthesized summary at the top, which may draw only on the passages beneath it, and the history note, which cites the works it came from. Every claim in either carries a marker to its source.
— No descriptive record. PubChem holds no attributed passage about 25G-NBOMe under any heading this site reads, and ChEMBL curates no mechanism for it. That is the common case for the research chemicals in this archive: they have structures and binding measurements, and nobody has written a monograph. The measurements are still on the plates that follow.
History, discovery and cultural use
— Not in this archive. PubChem, ChEMBL and the Human Protein Atlas publish pharmacology, regulation and toxicology, and none of them publishes a heading for when 25G-NBOMe was first made, by whom, or how it has been used. That is a gap in the databases this site reads and not a gap in the literature — the history of these compounds is written, at length and under peer review, in the works below. This site does not summarize them; it says where they are. Where a published passage above happens to touch origin or traditional use, it appears inside the entry that carries it.
Histories of this field
Scholarship on psychedelics generally, not on 25G-NBOMe specifically. Whether any of these treats this compound is a question for the book, not for this page.

Institutional archives
- Heffter Research Institute Funds and coordinates clinical research on psilocybin, and keeps records of the studies it has supported since 1993. Sponsors the research it archives.
- Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Sponsors clinical research, chiefly on MDMA-assisted therapy, and publishes an archive of historical and contemporary documents. A sponsor and an advocacy organization, not a disinterested archive; its clinical programme has a commercial arm.
The rest of this dossier
- Toxicology — nothing published for 25G-NBOMe. An absent record is an absence of study, not evidence of safety.
Passages via PubChem descriptive sections, aggregating DrugBank, LiverTox, FDA, DEA, HSDB, EPA. Each is quoted whole and attributed to the database that published it. The only prose written here about 25G-NBOMe is the history note, which says so on its face and carries a reference for every claim in it.

III · Behavior
Behavioral summary
Class, mechanism, and the duration of acute effects — each quoted from the record or trial that publishes it. Duration of effects and plasma half-life are shown separately, because they are different quantities and diverge by a factor of three or four.
Classification
MeSH indexes no pharmacological class for this compound.
Duration of acute subjective effects
—
No controlled human trial reporting a duration for this compound is cited here. The archive holds no other record of one either. A duration is not inferred from a chemical relative.
Plasma elimination half-life
How fast the body clears the drug — not how long the effects last. The two diverge sharply: LSD is cleared with a half-life of about 2.6 h while its subjective effects run 8–12 h.
No half-life is published for this compound in the sources this site reads.
Primary pharmacological drivers
ChEMBL holds no curated mechanism-of-action record for this compound. The measured affinities below are the evidence this archive has for what it binds.
Nothing about this compound’s pharmacology is published with a citation in the sources this site reads. The measured binding data below is what the archive can show.
IV · Clinical
Clinical description
Where this compound's substance class sits in ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR, and how much of the recorded literature speaks to each domain of a mental status examination.
No diagnostic chapter is shown for this compound. Either PubChem records no MeSH pharmacological class for it, or the class it records is not one of the substance classes ICD-11 gives a chapter to. Inferring a chapter from the compound’s name or its binding profile would be a diagnosis this archive is in no position to make.
How much has been written about each domain
The clinical domains, and how many of the records this archive holds for this compound say something under each. What the terms mean, and the word list behind every spoke, are set out in the method.
None of the 0 records this archive holds for this compound uses a term from any of the clinical domains. That is a statement about the literature recorded here, not about the compound.
VI · Profile
Affinity rosette
No measurement for 25G-NBOMe converts to an affinity at a molecular target, so there is no rosette to draw. This is an absence of data, not a finding about the compound.
VII · Toxicology
Toxicological profile
What has been measured, and what has been published — kept apart, and neither scored. There is no risk rating on this page; the archive once carried one, identical for every compound, produced by a stub.
Measured in this archive
Assays that bear on toxicity, drawn from the same ChEMBL records as everything else on this page. They are measurements of what a compound binds or does to cells — not verdicts about what it does to a person.
No hERG, cytochrome, cytotoxicity or transport measurement exists for 25G-NBOMe in this archive.
Published toxicology
— None. The toxicology databases this site reads — HSDB, RTECS and LiverTox, by way of PubChem — hold no record for 25G-NBOMe. They index compounds that have been studied for decades, so most of this archive has no entry. An absent record is an absence of study, not evidence of safety.
Published passages via PubChem toxicology sections, aggregating Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), RTECS, LiverTox. No figure on this page is scored, ranked or combined into a risk level.

IX · Trials
Registered clinical trials
Studies filed with ClinicalTrials.gov that name this compound as an intervention. A registered trial is a protocol, not a result — status and enrollment are printed beside every row, and withdrawn studies are counted rather than hidden.
— No registered study names 25G-NBOMe as an intervention. That is an absence of registered research, not evidence about the compound. Most of this archive has never been the subject of a registered trial.
Records from ClinicalTrials.gov (U.S. National Library of Medicine, NIH), API v2. A study is listed against a compound only when a verified name for that compound appears as a whole word in one of the study's own intervention names. A short code must appear as written, and a name the registry uses for something else (Aleph, a vaccine maker) is not matched. Title matches are not accepted. The matched name and the intervention text it matched are shown with every row.

A registered trial is a protocol somebody filed with the registry. It is not a result, and nothing on this plate says whether 25G-NBOMe worked.
X · Legal
Controlled-substance status
United States federal scheduling, read from the DEA records this archive holds. Not legal advice, and an absent record is not a finding that a compound is uncontrolled.
An absent DEA record is not a finding that 25G-NBOMe is legal. It means this archive holds no DEA passage for it. The Controlled Substances Analogue Enforcement Act reaches substances that appear on no schedule by name, and many compounds here are ring-substituted analogues of scheduled drugs. Nothing on this plate should be read as saying a compound may lawfully be made, held or supplied.
United States federal status only. State law differs, and so does the law of every other country — none of it is represented here. Scheduling changes, and this reflects the DEA records held by PubChem descriptive sections when the monograph was last harvested, not necessarily today. This is a record of what a database publishes, not legal advice.
XI · Literature
Sources behind this dossier
The papers this compound's values were read from, ranked by what each contributed. Not a review of the field.
No reference is recorded against any value for this compound. Its measurements come from ChEMBL assay records that carry an assay identifier but no publication, so there is no paper to cite here — an absence in the upstream record, not a judgment about the evidence. The assay identifiers in Every measurement resolve to the records the values were read from.
