Pharmacological actions

  • Sympathomimetics

Pharmacology

Chlorphentermine is a chlorinated analogue of phentermine, a sympathomimetic amine with central nervous system (CNS) stimulating and anorexic activity. Chlorphentermine acts by facilitating the release of catecholamines, especially noradrenaline and dopamine, from nerve terminals in the brain and also inhibits their uptake. The increase in synaptic concentrations of these catecholamines causes behavioral changes including an increase in motor activity, mental alertness and excitement, causes euphoria, and suppresses appetite.

How it is made

P-chlorobenzyl chloride is grignardized with acetone, resulting 1-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-2-propanol ... Reacted with sodium cyanide in acetic acid-sulfuric acid environment to form corresponding 2-formamido compd & this ... Hydrolyzed with alkali to form chlorphentermine. Treatment with hydrogen chloride ... Yields hcl.
