2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-4-one
Pemoline is a central nervous system stimulant from the class of oxazolidinones, primarily acting as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. It was previously used for the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy but has been restricted or withdrawn from the market in many countries due to potential liver damage. The substance shows a lower potential for dependence than classical amphetamines but still carries risks with long-term use.

Receptor Profile
Der 5-HT2A-Rezeptor ist ein Serotonin-Rezeptor der Klasse Gq-gekoppelter GPCRs. Er ist der primäre molekulare Angriffspunkt klassischer Psychedelika und spielt eine Rolle bei Kognition und Wahrnehmung.
Der Noradrenalintransporter (NET) ist ein Monoamintransporter, der Noradrenalin aus dem synaptischen Spalt zurücktransportiert. Er wird von verschiedenen Stimulants und Antidepressiva beeinflusst.
Der Dopamintransporter (DAT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Dopamin aus dem synaptischen Spalt entfernt. Er ist ein zentrales Ziel von Stimulants und spielt eine Schlüsselrolle im Belohnungssystem.
