Thozalinone

Thozalinone (USAN) (brand name Stimsen; former developmental code name CL-39808) is a psychostimulant that has been used as an antidepressant in Europe.[1][2][3][4][5] It has also been trialed as an anorectic.[6] Thozalinone is described as a "dopaminergic stimulant",[7] and likely acts via inducing the release of dopamine and to a minimal extent norepinephrine; similar to analogue pemoline, it is seemingly devoid of abuse potential unlike common psychostimulants that increase catecholamines.[2][8][9]
