The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.,CSP: powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic with multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase; it is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic.,NCI: A synthetic substance related to natural sympathomimetic amines.
