Phenylpropanolamine (PPA), sold under many brand names, is a sympathomimetic agent which is used as a decongestant and appetite suppressant. [9] [1] [10] [11] It was previously commonly used in prescription and over-the-counter cough and cold preparations.
Some β-hydroxyamphetamines have had their side chain extended and cyclized.Examples include certain substituted phenylmorpholines like phenmetrazine and phendimetrazine and their analogues; substituted phenylmorpholines related to bupropion like radafaxine (cyclized (2S,3S)-hydroxybupropion) and manifaxine; certain substituted aminorexes like 4-methylaminorex and 4,4'-dimethylaminorex; and ...
Dexatrim formula has changed considerably over the years. In prior formulations, Dexatrim contained the decongestant phenylpropanolamine (PPA) and the amphetamine-like compound ephedra. [13] A 2000 study by Yale University School of Medicine showed an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke with taking PPA. [14]

α-Propylphenethylamine (APPEA or α-Pr-PEA), also known as 1-phenyl-2-aminopentane, is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine families. [1] [2] It is the analogue of the β-phenethylamine (PEA) derivatives amphetamine (α-methylphenethylamine; "AMPEA") and phenylisobutylamine (α-ethylphenethylamine; AEPEA) in which the α-alkyl chain has been further lengthened to be a propyl ...
The original packaging used the phrase "Ayds Reducing Plan vitamin and mineral Candy"; a later version used the phrase "appetite suppressant candy". The active ingredient was originally benzocaine, [1] presumably to reduce the sense of taste to reduce eating, later changed in the candy (as reported by The New York Times) to phenylpropanolamine. [2]
L-Norpseudoephedrine, or (−)-norpseudoephedrine, is a psychostimulant drug of the amphetamine family. It is one of the four optical isomers of phenylpropanolamine, the other three being cathine ((+)-norpseudoephedrine), (−)-norephedrine, and (+)-norephedrine; as well as one of the two enantiomers of norpseudoephedrine (the other being cathine).
