(S)-1-Aminoindane-d3

(S)-1-Aminoindane-d3 is a deuterated form of (S)-1-Aminoindane, which is a psychoactive drug that belongs to the class of amphetamines. It is a chiral compound, meaning that it has a non-superimposable mirror image. The deuterated form of (S)-1-Aminoindane is labeled with three deuterium atoms, which replace three hydrogen atoms in the molecule. (S)-1-Aminoindane-d3 is primarily used as a research chemical in laboratories to investigate its effects on the central nervous system. It is known to act as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which means that it prevents the reuptake of dopamine into the presynaptic neuron, leading to an increase in dopamine levels in the synaptic cleft. This effect is similar to other psychoactive drugs such as cocaine and amphetamines, which also act as dopamine reuptake inhibitors. In addition to its dopamine reuptake inhibiting effects, (S)-1-Aminoindane-d3 is also known to act as a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. This means that it can increase the levels of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, leading to a range of effects on the central nervous system. Overall, (S)-1-Aminoindane-d3 is a valuable tool for researchers investigating the role of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in the brain, and may have potential applications in the development of new treatments for psychiatric disorders.
