Chlorphentermine exerts anorectic properties. It is a synthetic amphetamine derivatc claimed to have none of the excitatory effects of the parenit substanice. PRE-SATE (Chlorphentermine HCl) is an effective appetite suppressant with a pattern of pharmacologic action substantially different from those of traditional anorexigenics. In providing dependable appetite control with appreciable loss of bodyweight, PRE-SATE does not significantly increase central nervous system (CNS), cardiorespiratory or metabolic activity.

In contrast, lymphocytes pre-incubated with 10(-5)M chlorphentermine (CP) for 60 min, then stimulated with Con A for 2 hours in the presence of 10(-5)M CP, exhibit a significantly depressed inositol phosphate formation. In addition, CP also inhibited the activity of phospholipase C (IC50 = 0.58 mM), the enzyme responsible for the formation of inositol phosphates during lymphocyte activation. Further, lymphocytes activated in a manner that bypasses the phosphatidylinositol pathway are not inhibited by 10(-7)M or 10(-9)M CP as are cells activated with Con A.
