Amfepramone, also known as diethylpropion, is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone classes that is used as an appetite suppressant.^[8][9] It is used in the short-term management of obesity, along with dietary and lifestyle changes.^[8] Amfepramone has a similar chemical structure to the antidepressant and smoking cessation aid bupropion (previously called amfebutamone), which has also been developed as a weight-loss medicine when in a combination product with naltrexone.^[10] Amfepramone itself lacks any affinity for the monoamine transporters and instead functions as a prodrug to ethcathinone.^[11] Ethcathinone (and therefore amfepramone as well) is a very weak dopaminergic and serotonergic, and is approximately 10× and 20× stronger on norepinephrine in comparison, respectively.^[11] Amfepramone can be synthesized from propiophenone by bromination, followed by reaction with diethylamine.^[12][13] Another medically utilized name is diethylpropion (British Approved Name (BAN) and Australian Approved Name (AAN)). Chemical names include: α-methyl-β-keto-N,N-diethylphenethylamine, N,N-diethyl-β-ketoamphetamine and N,N-diethylcathinone. Brand names include: Anorex, Linea, Nobesine, Prefamone, Regenon, Tepanil and Tenuate. Amfepramone is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States. In the UK amfepramone is a class C drug^[14] and as a medicine, it is a Schedule 3 Controlled Drug which requires safe custody. As of June 2022, the safety committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommends the withdrawal of marketing authorizations for amfepramone.^[15][6] The authors of several studies of amfepramone claim that the substance has a relatively low potential for causing addiction in users.^{[16][17][4][18]}
