2-Fluoromethcathinone


2-Fluoromethcathinone, also known as 2-flephedrone, is a psychostimulant and designer drug of the cathinone family. It acts as a dopamine and norepinephrine releasing agent.

Pharmacology

The drug has an for dopamine release of 48.7nM and induces 85% release of norepinephrine at a concentration of 10μM. For comparison, the values of methcathinone are 49.9nM for dopamine release and 22.4nM for norepinephrine release and it induces 100% release of norepinephrine at a concentration of 10μM. Hence, compared to methcathinone, 2-FMC appears to be relatively more selective or efficacious for induction of dopamine release over norepinephrine release. It is notable in this regard that selective dopamine releasing agents are largely unknown.
