617710-55-1 Usage
General Description
Benzenemethanamine, α-methyl-3,5-dinitro-, (αR)-, also known as dexfenfluramine, is a chemical compound primarily used as a medication for weight loss. It acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and releases agent, leading to an increase in serotonin levels in the brain, which can result in a reduction in appetite and consequent weight loss. Dexfenfluramine was previously used as a popular anti-obesity medication, but was ultimately withdrawn from the market due to concerns about its potential to cause heart valve problems and pulmonary hypertension. Today, it is primarily of interest for research purposes and is no longer available for medical use.
