Metabolite Identification
Common NameFenproporex
DescriptionFenproporex, also known as fenorex or ifa diety, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as amphetamines and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing or derived from 1-phenylpropan-2-amine. It is sometimes combined with benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and other compounds to create a version of the "rainbow diet pill". Fenproporex is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Fenproporex has never been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale in the US due to lack of efficacy and safety data. Fenproporex (Perphoxene) is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes that was developed in the 1960s. It is used as an appetite suppressant for the treatment of obesity. However, in March 2009, the FDA warned consumers that it has been detected as an unlabeled component of diet pills available over the Internet. Fenproporex is on the list of substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, and any sportsperson testing positive for the substance faces a ban from competition. Fenproporex is designated a Schedule IV controlled substance in the US pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act. Fenproporex produces amphetamine as a metabolite and was withdrawn in many countries following problems with abuse, but it is still prescribed in some countries. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Fenproporex is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Fenproporex is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
