Stereoisomers
2 distinct stereoisomers are registered for this structure.
- Dextromethamphetamine this area CID 10836
The potent stimulant; what illicit methamphetamine is.
- Levmetamfetamine CID 36604
An over-the-counter nasal decongestant with little central stimulant action.
- Racemic (DL) methamphetamine mixture CID 1206
The two enantiomers are genuinely different drugs. Dextromethamphetamine is the potent CNS stimulant and is what illicit methamphetamine overwhelmingly consists of. Levmetamfetamine is a nasal decongestant, sold over the counter in inhalers in some countries, with very little central stimulant action. A racemic mixture also exists.
