Amphetamine is a chiral compound that consists of the dextro- and levo-amphetamine enantiomers. Dextroamphetamine is prescribed for the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy, while levoamphetamine is currently only prescribed as part of a racemic mixture with the dextro isomer in medications like Adderall. The structural class of amphetamines consists of a broad range of psychoactive derivatives, such as MDMA (Ecstasy) and the N-methylated form, methamphetamine.
Amphetamine is a homologue of phenethylamine and a metabolite of methamphetamine. |
