Pharmaceutical compound
1-Naphthylmethcathinone (AMAPN) is a monoamine releasing agent of the cathinone and naphthylaminopropane families.[1][2] It is an analogue of methcathinone in which the phenyl ring has been replaced with a 1-naphthalene ring.[1][2]
The drug acts as a potent serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA).[1][2] Its EC50 values for induction of monoamine release are 21.6 nM for serotonin and 55.2 nM for dopamine, whereas the EC50 for norepinephrine was not reported.[1] However, AMAPN induced 92% release of norepinephrine at a concentration of 10,000 nM, indicating that it is an effective norepinephrine releaser as well.[1]
