New cytotoxic compounds from the leaves of (Baill.) Herend. & Zarucchi (Fabaceae).

Objective: The incidence of multi-drug resistant cancer and the adverse effects associated with available chemotherapy have necessitated the search for new drug candidates. This study investigates the cytotoxic activity of .

Materials And Methods: Column chromatography (CC) and preparative thin layer chromatography (PTLC) were used to isolate compounds.

Pharmacological characterizations of the 'legal high' fluorolintane and isomers.

1,2-Diarylethylamines represent a class of molecules that have shown potential in the treatment of pain, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disease and depression. Examples include lefetamine, remacemide, and lanicemine. Recently, several 1,2-diarylethylamines including the dissociatives diphenidine, methoxphenidine and ephenidine as well as the opioid MT-45, have appeared as 'research chemicals' or 'legal highs'.

Syntheses and analytical characterizations of the research chemical 1-[1-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylethyl]pyrrolidine (fluorolintane) and five of its isomers.

A number of substances based on the 1,2-diarylethylamine template have been investigated for various potential clinical applications whereas others have been encountered as research chemicals sold for non-medical use. Some of these substances have transpired to function as NMDA receptor antagonists that elicit dissociative effects in people who use these substances recreationally. 1-[1-(2-Fluorophenyl)-2-phenylethyl]pyrrolidine (fluorolintane, 2-F-DPPy) has recently appeared as a research chemical, which users report has dissociative effects.
