Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Metamfepramone is a synthetic stimulant drug that is structurally related to cathinone. It is a potent and selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor, with minimal effects on norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake. This makes it a promising candidate for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other conditions that involve dopamine deficiency. Metamfepramone has been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce hyperactivity in animal models of ADHD. However, it is important to note that metamfepramone is not currently approved for medical use, and its safety and efficacy in humans have not been fully established. Further research is needed to investigate its potential therapeutic benefits and risks.'
