clortermine clortermine clortermine (voranil) was developed by ciba in the 1960s and is an anorectic drug of the amphetamine class. it is the 2-chloro analogue of the better known appetite suppressant phentermine, and is the 2-chloro positional isomer of chlorphentermine. clortermine produces very low rates of self-administration in animals similarly to chlorphentermine, and as a result it likely does not act on dopamine. instead, it may act as a serotonin and/or norepinephrine releasing agent. clortermineclinical dataother names2-chloro-α,α-dimethylphenethylamine;2-chloro-α-methylamphetamine;2-chlorophenterminepregnancycategory ? routes ofadministrationoralatc codenonelegal statuslegal status us: schedule iii in general: ℞ (prescription only) identifiers iupac name 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropan-2-amine cas number10389-73-8 npubchem cid25223drugbankdb01527 ychemspider23558 yunii4fa88hm3ixkeggd03566 ychemblchembl1697833 ncomptox dashboard (epa)dtxsid0022850 chemical and physical dataformulac10h14clnmolar mass183.68 g·mol−13d model (jsmol)interactive image smiles clc1ccccc1cc(n)(c)c inchi inchi=1s/c10h14cln/c1-10(2,12)7-8-5-3-4-6-9(8)11/h3-6h,7,12h2,1-2h3 ykey:hxcxasjhzqxckk-uhfffaoysa-n y ny (what is this?)
