6-AB
6-AB, also known as 6-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5''H''-benzocycloheptene, is a conformationally restricted analogue of amphetamine related to 2-aminoindane (2-AI) and 2-aminotetralin (2-AT). Unlike amphetamine, 2-AI, and 2-AT, 6-AB did not produce stimulant-type effects in animals. In another study, it produced a biphasic effect at high doses, with initial hypolocomotion followed after a few hours by weak locomotor stimulation. 7-AB is a positional isomer of 6-AB.

7-AB
7-AB, also known as 7-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5''H''-benzocycloheptene, is a conformationally restricted analogue of amphetamine related to 2-aminoindane (2-AI) and 2-aminotetralin (2-AT). Unlike amphetamine, 2-AI, and 2-AT, 7-AB did not produce stimulant-type effects in animals. Instead, it caused behavioral disruption and death at higher doses. 6-AB is a positional isomer of 7-AB.

2-aminotetralin
2-Aminotetralin (2-AT), also known as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-amine (THN), is a stimulant drug with a chemical structure consisting of a tetralin core with an amine as substituent. 2-AT is a rigid analogue of phenylisobutylamine and fully substitutes for d-amphetamine in rat drug discrimination tests, although at one-half to one-eighth the potency. It showed greater potency than a variety of other amphetamine homologues, including 2-amino-1,2-dihydronapthalene (2-ADN), 2-aminoindane (2-AI), 1-naphthylaminopropane (1-NAP), 2-naphthylaminopropane (2-NAP), 1-phenylpiperazine (1-PP), , and . 2-AT has been shown to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, and might induce their release as well. It is also likely to act on dopamine on account of its full substitution of d-amphetamine in rodent studies. Chemical derivatives A number of derivatives of 2-aminotetralin exist, including: See also * 1-Aminotetralin 1-Aminotetralin (1-AT), also known as ...

TFMBOX
TFMBOX is a putative serotonergic psychedelic of the phenethylamine and benzoxepin ("BOX") families. It is the cyclized phenethylamine analogue of DOTFM and 2C-TFM in which the α carbon has been connected to the 2-methoxy group via an ethyl chain to form a benzoxepin ring system. The drug was assessed at and showed affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT1A receptors, with Ki values of 340nM and 1,300nM, respectively. Its affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor was about 15-fold lower than that of DOB and DOI, whereas its affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor was the same as that of DOI and was about half that of DOB. TFMBOX also very weakly inhibited the reuptake of serotonin ( = 9,900nM), but did not affect dopamine or norepinephrine reuptake ( = >50,000–100,000nM). The drug fully substituted for LSD in rodent drug discrimination tests, albeit with about one-third of the potency of DOB and 2C-B. TFMBOX was first described in the scientific literature by N ...

2-Amino-1,2-dihydronaphthalene
2-Amino-1,2-dihydronapthalene (2-ADN or ADN) is a stimulant drug. It is a rigid analogue of phenylisobutylamine and substitutes for amphetamine in rat drug discrimination tests, although at approximately one-fourth the potency. The drug is closely related to 2-aminotetralin (2-AT; 2-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene), which also substitutes for amphetamine, and is about twice as potent as 2-AT in substituting for amphetamine. Other homologous and rigid analogues of amphetamine besides 2-ADN and 2-AT include 2-aminoindane (2-AI), 1-naphthylaminopropane (1-NAP), 2-naphthylaminopropane (2-NAP), 1-phenylpiperazine (1-PP), , and .

1-Phenylpiperazine
1-Phenylpiperazine (1-PP or PP) is a simple chemical compound and drug featuring a phenyl group bound to a piperazine ring. The suffix ‘-piprazole’ is sometimes used in the names of drugs to indicate they belong to this class. It is a rigid analogue of amphetamine. Similarly to amphetamine, 1-PP is a monoamine releasing agent, with values for monoamine release of 186nM for norepinephrine, 880nM for serotonin, and 2,530nM for dopamine. Based on the preceding values, it is about 4.7-fold less potent in releasing serotonin than norepinephrine and about 13.6-fold less potent in releasing dopamine than norepinephrine. Hence, 1-PP is a modestly selective norepinephrine releasing agent (NRA), or could alternatively be thought of as an imbalanced serotonin–norepinephrine releasing agent (SNRA) or serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA). Other homologues and rigid analogues of amphetamine besides 1-PP include 2-aminotetralin (2-AT), 2-amino-1,2-dihydronapht ...

Chemical Structure
A chemical structure of a molecule is a spatial arrangement of its atoms and their chemical bonds. Its determination includes a chemist's specifying the molecular geometry and, when feasible and necessary, the electronic structure of the target molecule or other solid. Molecular geometry refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together and can be represented using structural formulae and by molecular models; complete electronic structure descriptions include specifying the occupation of a molecule's molecular orbitals. Structure determination can be applied to a range of targets from very simple molecules (e.g., diatomic oxygen or nitrogen) to very complex ones (e.g., such as protein or DNA). Background Theories of chemical structure were first developed by August Kekulé, Archibald Scott Couper, and Aleksandr Butlerov, among others, from about 1858. These theories were first to state that chemical compounds are not a ran ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Structural Analog
A structural analog, also known as a chemical analog or simply an analog, is a chemical compound, compound having a chemical structure, structure similar to that of another compound, but differing from it in respect to a certain component. It can differ in one or more atoms, functional groups, or substructures, which are replaced with other atoms, groups, or substructures. A structural analog can be imagined to be formed, at least theoretically, from the other compound. Structural analogs are often isoelectronicity, isoelectronic. Despite a high chemical similarity, structural analogs are not necessarily functional analog (chemistry), functional analogs and can have very different physical, chemical, biochemical, or pharmacological properties. In drug discovery, either a large series of structural analogs of an initial lead compound are created and tested as part of a structure–activity relationship study or a database is virtual screening, screened for structural analogs of a ...

Amphetamine
Amphetamine (contracted from Alpha and beta carbon, alpha-methylphenethylamine, methylphenethylamine) is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity; it is also used to treat binge eating disorder in the form of its inactive prodrug lisdexamfetamine. Amphetamine was discovered as a chemical in 1887 by Lazăr Edeleanu, and then as a drug in the late 1920s. It exists as two enantiomers: levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine. ''Amphetamine'' properly refers to a specific chemical, the Racemic mixture, racemic free base, which is equal parts of the two enantiomers in their pure amine forms. The term is frequently used informally to refer to any combination of the enantiomers, or to either of them alone. Historically, it has been used to treat nasal congestion and depression. Amphetamine is also used as an Performance-enhancing substance, athletic performance enhancer and Nootropic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stimulant
Stimulants (also known as central nervous system stimulants, or psychostimulants, or colloquially as uppers) are a class of drugs that increase alertness. They are used for various purposes, such as enhancing attention, motivation, cognition, Mood disorder, mood, and physical activity, physical performance. Some stimulants occur naturally, while others are exclusively synthetic. Common stimulants include caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines, cocaine, methylphenidate, and modafinil. Stimulants may be subject to varying forms of regulation, or outright prohibition, depending on jurisdiction. Stimulants increase activity in the sympathetic nervous system, either directly or indirectly. Prototypical stimulants increase synaptic concentrations of neurotransmitter, excitatory neurotransmitters, particularly norepinephrine and dopamine (e.g., methylphenidate). Other stimulants work by binding to the Receptor (biochemistry), receptors of excitatory neurotransmitters (e.g., nicotine) or by ...

Hypolocomotion
Locomotor activity is a measure of animal behavior which is employed in scientific research. Hyperlocomotion, also known as locomotor hyperactivity, hyperactivity, or increased locomotor activity, is an effect of certain drugs in animals in which locomotor activity (locomotion) is increased. It is induced by certain drugs like psychostimulants and NMDA receptor antagonists and is reversed by certain other drugs like antipsychotics and certain antidepressants. Stimulation of locomotor activity is thought to be mediated by increased signaling in the nucleus accumbens, a major brain area involved in behavioral activation and motivation, motivated behavior. Hypolocomotion, also known as locomotor hypoactivity, hypoactivity, and decreased locomotor activity, is an effect of certain drugs in animals in which locomotor activity is decreased. It is a characteristic effect of many sedative agents and general anesthetics. Antipsychotics, which are dopamine receptor antagonists, and many s ...
