LEVOFENFLURAMINE is a levorotatory enantiomer of fenfluramine, a substituted amphetamine which was formerly used to treat obesity. LEVOFENFLURAMINE has dopamine-antagonistic properties and, at high doses, increases dopamine concentrations in rat striatal dialysates. It is essentially inactive to reduce food intake in human subjects.
