What is DIETHYLPROPION?
Absorption
Diethylpropion is rapidly absorbed from the GI tract after oral administration.
Toxicity
The reported oral LD50 for mice is 600 mg/kg, for rats is 250 mg/kg and for dogs is 225 mg/kg. Manifestation of acute overdosage include restlessness, tremor, hyperreflexia, rapid respiration, confusion, assaultiveness, hallucinations, and panic states.
Originator
Tenuate,Merrell National ,US,1959
The Uses of DIETHYLPROPION
appetite depressant;stimulating secretion of norepinephrine
Background
A appetite depressant considered to produce less central nervous system disturbance than most drugs in this therapeutic category. It is also considered to be among the safest for patients with hypertension. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p2290)
Indications
Used in the management of exogenous obesity as a short-term adjunct (a few weeks) in a regimen of weight reduction based on caloric restriction.
Definition
ChEBI: An aromatic ketone that is propiophenone in which one of the hydrogens alpha- to the carbonyl is substituted by a diethylamino group. A central stimulant and indirect-acting sympathomimetic, it is an appetite depressant and is used as the hydrochloride as an anoretic in the short term management of obesity.
Manufacturing Process
1,145 g of α-bromopropiophenone and 850 g of diethylamine are combined under stirring and heated on a water bath to boiling. The precipitate is filtered off under suction and washed with benzol. The filtrate is shaken up with aqueous hydrogen chloride, the aqueous solution made alkaline and etherified. The solution freed of the ether is fractionated. The boiling point (6 mm) is 140°C and the yield 800 g. The base is dissolved in acetic ester and precipitated with isopropanolic hydrogen chloride. After suction filtration and washing with ether the yield is found to be 750 g (80%)and the melting point 168°C.

Therapeutic Function
Anorexic
World Health Organization (WHO)
Amfepramone, a phenethylamine derivative introduced in 1957, is controlled under Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. It remains available in many other countries with highly evolved drug regulatory authorities as an aid to weight reduction.(Reference: (UNCPS4) United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances (IV), , , 1971)
Pharmacokinetics
Diethylpropion is a sympathomimetic stimulant drug marketed as an appetite suppressant. Chemically, it is the N,N-diethyl analog of cathinone. Its mechanism of action is similar to other appetite suppressants such as sibutramine, phentermine and dextroamphetamine.
Metabolism
Extensively metabolized through a complex pathway of biotransformation involving N-dealkylation and reduction. Many of these metabolites are biologically active and may participate in the therapeutic action of diethylpropion.
