Amfepramone (INN, other names diethylcathinone and diethylpropion, trade names Anorex, Linea, Nobesine, Prefamone, Regenon, Tepanil, Tenuate), is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone chemical classes that is used as an appetite suppressant.

[edit] Pharmacology

Amfepramone itself lacks any affinity for the monoamine transporters and instead functions as a prodrug to ethcathinone.[1] Ethcathinone (and therefore amfepramone as well) is a very weak dopaminergic and serotonergic, and is approximately 10x and 20x stronger on norepinephrine in comparison, respectively.[1] As a result, ethcathinone and amfepramone can essentially be considered selective norepinephrine releasing agents (NRAs).

[edit] Abuse

Amfepramone is believed to have relatively low abuse potential.[2][3][4][5]

[edit] Legality

Amfepramone is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States. In the UK Amfepramone is a class C drug.[6]

[edit] Chemistry

  1. Propiophenone is brominated to produce α-bromopropiophenone.
  2. This is reacted with diethylamine to yield the product, diethylpropion.
