xylopropamine

Xylopropamine, also known as 3,4-dimethylamphetamine (DMeA) and sold under the brand names Perhedrin and Esanin, is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine families which was developed and marketed as an appetite suppressant in the 1950s.

Xylopropamine was briefly sold as the sulfate salt, but it was not widely marketed. Other related amphetamine derivatives such as 2,4-dimethylamphetamine were also investigated for the same purpose, however these drugs had negative side effects such as high blood pressure and were not very successful, mainly due to the introduction of alternative drugs like phentermine which had similar efficacy but fewer side effects.
