4-Chlorophenylisobutylamine (4-CAB, AEPCA), also known as 4-chloro-α-ethylphenethylamine, is an

Relative to PCA, 4-CAB is also substantially less effective as a serotonergic neurotoxin.^[1] A single 10 mg/kg administration of PCA to rats produces an approximate 80% decrease in serotonin markers as observed 1 week later.^[1] In contrast, 11 mg/kg and 22 mg/kg doses of 4-CAB result in only 20% and 50% decreases, respectively.^[1] This is once again similar to MDMA which causes a 40-60% reduction with a single 20 mg/kg dose.^[2]
