(2-Diethylamino-ethylamino)-phenyl-acetic acid, also known as fenfluramine, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C12H19N2O. It is a sympathomimetic amine that was once widely used as an anorectic drug to suppress appetite and aid in weight loss. Fenfluramine works by releasing serotonin from neurons, which in turn increases satiety and reduces the desire to eat. However, due to its association with serious side effects, including heart valve damage and pulmonary hypertension, its use has been discontinued in most countries. The chemical structure of fenfluramine consists of a phenyl ring attached to an acetic acid group, with a diethylaminoethylamino side chain.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1620-29-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,6,2 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1620-29: (6*1)+(5*6)+(4*2)+(3*0)+(2*2)+(1*9)=57 57 % 10 = 7 So 1620-29-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
