2CJP, also known as 4-(4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepine, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the phenethylamine, 2C, and N-benzylphenethylamine families. It is a cyclized phenethylamine analogue of 25B-NBOMe in which the N-benzyl ethyl amine side chain has been cyclized to form a tetrahydrobenzazepine ring. The drug shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 19-457 nM and 227-3,240 nM, respectively). 2CJP was first described in the scientific literature by Michael Robert Braden of the lab of David E. Nichols at Purdue University in 2007.

Substituted methoxyphenethylamine

Methoxyphenethylamines, as well as methoxyamphetamines (MAs) in the case of the amphetamine (α-methylphenethylamine) homologues, are substituted phenethylamines with one or more methoxy groups. In some cases, one or more of the methoxy groups may also be extended to form other alkoxy and related groups such as ethoxy or propoxy.

Substituted phenethylamine

Substituted phenethylamines are a chemical class of organic compounds that are based upon the phenethylamine structure; the class is composed of all the derivative compounds of phenethylamine which can be formed by replacing, or substituting, one or more hydrogen atoms in the phenethylamine core structure with substituents. Phenylethylamines are also generally found to be central nervous system stimulants with many also being entactogens/empathogens, and hallucinogens.

25-NB

The 25-NB series, or NBOMe series, also known as the N-benzylphenethylamines, is a family of serotonergic psychedelics. They are substituted phenethylamines and were derived from the 2C family.
