The designer drug 2C-B is extensively metabolized and excreted mainly as metabolites in urine. In rats, a systematic toxicological analysis using full-scan GC-MS detected the O-demethyl deaminohydroxy metabolite and two isomers of the O-demethyl metabolite after a common drug abuser's dose. The authors suggest that, assuming similar metabolism in humans, this procedure should be suitable for proving 2C-B intake in human urine.
