Scope note: Potente estimulante del sistema nervioso central y simpatomimético. La anfetamina tiene múltiples mecanismos de acción, como el bloqueo de la recaptación de neurotransmisores adrenérgicos y dopamina, la estimulación de la secreción de monoaminas e inhibición de la monoaminooxidasa. También es una droga adictiva y un alucinógeno. Se incluyen aquí las formas l y d,l. La forma l tiene menos actividad sobre el sistema nervioso central pero mayores efectos cardiovasculares. La forma d es la DEXTROANFETAMINA.
