Fluoroamphetamine

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Fluoroamphetamine (4-FA; 4-FMP; PAL-303; "Flux"), also known as para-fluoroamphetamine (PFA) is a psychoactive research chemical of the phenethylamine and substituted amphetamine chemical classes. It produces stimulant and entactogenic effects, and is described as being somewhat similar in effect to MDMA, but with a longer duration of effect, lower propensity for compulsive redosing, and less emphasis on the serotonin system.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Fluoroamphetamine is a synthetic molecule of the amphetamine family. Molecules of the amphetamine class contain a phenethylamine core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at Rα. Fluoroamphetamine contains additional substitutions at R4 of the phenyl ring with a fluorine atom. This fluorine atom at R4 of the phenyl ring is responsible for the molecule's increased potency.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

As with other stimulants, the chronic use of fluoroamphetamine can be considered moderately addictive with a high potential for abuse and is capable of causing psychological dependence among certain users. When addiction has developed, cravings and withdrawal effects may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of fluoroamphetamine can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. In comparison to its contemporaries, it is considered to have a smoother, longer-lasting, more therapeutic, and less amphetamine-like effect profile.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of fluoroamphetamine varies widely by country. It is illegal in some countries, but is legal for research purposes in others.
