Phenpromethamine is a sympathomimetic agent structurally related to amphetamines. It primarily acts as a central nervous system stimulant, though detailed pharmacological data are scarce due to its limited clinical use and historical classification as an anorectic. In early pharmacological studies, Phenpromethamine was shown to increase locomotor activity in rodents and elevate blood pressure in animal models, suggesting potent adrenergic activity.
