Amfonelic acid Structural

What is Amfonelic acid?

Description

Amfonelic acid (AFA) is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Experiments on rats have shown that AFA treatment completely prevented the effects of methamphetamine on the dopaminergic system, both morphologically and biochemically.

Description

Amfonelic acid, a derivative of nalidixic acid, was originally developed as a central nervous system stimulant. It is a highly potent nonamphetamine stimulant whose actions are inhibited by reserpine but not by the tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, a-methyltyrosine. Additionally, it enhances the impacts of antipsychotic medicines such as haloperidol, trifluoperazine, and spiperone.

The Uses of Amfonelic acid

Stimulant (central).

Biological Activity

Amfonelic acid (AFA), an inhibitor of dopamine (DA) uptake, has been found to increase the levels of tryptophan (TRYP) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the rat c. striatum, cerebral cortex, and brain stem. The duration of action of the effect of AFA on TRYP and 5-HIAA appeared to be longer than that of the increase of the striatal DA metabolites homovanillic acid and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid[1].
