Beta-Phenylmethamphetamine

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Beta-Phenylmethamphetamine is a psychoactive drug and research chemical of the phenethylamine and amphetamine classes. It acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), and is known for its stimulant effects.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Beta-Phenylmethamphetamine is a substituted amphetamine that contains a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through a methyl chain. It is structurally similar to amphetamine, but has a phenyl ring in the beta position.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Beta-Phenylmethamphetamine acts primarily as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), meaning it increases levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake into neurons. This leads to increased neuronal activity, which is thought to be responsible for the drug's stimulant effects.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of Beta-Phenylmethamphetamine can vary widely depending on the dose and individual's physiology. Common effects include euphoria, increased energy, increased focus, and increased sociability. However, high doses can lead to negative effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of Beta-Phenylmethamphetamine varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal for research purposes.
