Mefenorex or (+/-)N-(3-chloropropyl)-1-methyl-2-phenylethylamine is an N-alkylated analogue of amphetamine. The therapeutic efficacy of mefenorex as an adjunctive support in the treatment of obesity for limited periods of time, as well as its ability to be well tolerated, has been amply demonstrated. Mefenorex is considered to be racemic mixture, no available data regarding enantiospecific pharmacological activity of the compound.
