Levomethamphetamine is the levorotary (L-enantiomer) form of methamphetamine. Levomethamphetamine is a sympathomimetic vasoconstrictor which is the active ingredient in some over-the-counter (OTC) nasal decongestant inhalers in the United States. Levomethamphetamine crosses the blood-brain-barrier and acts as a TAAR1 agonist, functioning as a selective norepinephrine releasing agent (with few or no effects on the release of dopamine), so it affects the central nervous system, although its effects are qualitatively distinct relative to those of dextromethamphetamine. Levomethamphetamine does not possess the potential for euphoria or addiction that dextromethamphetamine possesses. Among its physiological effects are the vasoconstriction that makes it useful for nasal decongestion. The elimination half-life of levomethamphetamine is between 13.3 and 15 hours, whereas dextromethamphetamine has a half-life of about 10.5 hours. When the nasal decongestant is taken in excess, levomethamphetamine has potential side effects resembling those of other sympathomimetic drugs; these effects include hypertension (elevated blood pressure), tachycardia (rapid heart rate), nausea, stomach cramps, dizziness, headache, sweating, muscle tension, and tremors. Central side effects may include anxiety, insomnia, and anorexia

adults and children 12 years of age and over 2 inhalations in each nostril children 6 to under 12 years of age 1 inhalation in each nostril (with adult supervision). The product delivers in each 800 ml of air 0.04 to 0.150 mg of levmetamfetamine
Route of Administration: Nasal
TA receptor activation was assayed in RD-HGA16cells stably expressing Gα16 and the hTAAR1 receptor. These cells were plated in HAM’s F-12 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum, 400 µg/ml hygromycin, and 400 µg/ml geneticin at 30,000 cells/well in 96-well, black, clear-bottom plates and incubated at 37 °C 5% CO2 overnight. Activation of hTAAR1 via Levomethamphetamine ((R)-10) was assessed the next day using the Calcium 3 Assay Kit (Molecular Devices). On the day of assay, the culture medium was removed and the cells washed once in 100 µl HBSS buffer containing 0.78 mg/ml probenicid, followed by the addition of 100 µl HBSS buffer plus probenicid and 100 µl of Calcium 3 dye (one-third the suggested concentration). The cells were incubated with the dye at 37 °C for 1 h. Levomethamphetamine were evaluated using 10 different concentrations run in duplicate. These were added to cells at 5 times the final concentration in HBSS/probenicid containing 1.25% DMSO (0.25% final concentration). The effect of test compound on internal calcium mobilization was determined with a FlexStation set for bottom read with 485-nm excitation and 525-nm emission wavelengths
