Amphetamine History

1. Amphetamine (CAS NO.300-62-9) was first synthesized in 1887 by the Romanian Lazr Edeleanu in Berlin, Germany.He named the compound phenylisopropylamine.
2. From 1933 or 1934 Smith, Kline and French began selling the volatile base form of the drug as an inhaler under the trade name Benzedrine.
3. The related compound methamphetamine was first synthesized from ephedrine in Japan in 1918 by chemist Akira Ogata, via reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine. The German military was notorious for their use of methamphetamine in World War II.
4. In 1997 and 1998,researchers at Texas A&M University claimed to have found amphetamine and methamphetamine in the foliage of two Acacia species native to Texas.
5. Amphetamines were still in use in the US Air Force as of 2003 to combat pilot fatigue.

Amphetamine Uses

Amphetamine (CAS NO.300-62-9) (amfetamine (INN)) is a psychostimulant drug that is known to produce increased wakefulness and focus in association with decreased fatigue and appetite. It is also used to treat symptoms of traumatic brain injury and the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. It is used by some college and high-school students as a study and test-taking aid. It has been, and is still, used by militaries around the world.Amphetamine is also used by some professional,collegiate and high school athletes for its strong stimulant effect.
