Cyclazodone
Cyclazodone
Chemical compound
Cyclazodone is a centrally acting stimulant drug developed by American Cyanamid Company in the 1960s.[1] The drug is related to other drugs such as pemoline and thozalinone. It displayed a favorable therapeutic index and margin of safety in comparison to Pemoline and other N-lower-alkyl-substituted Pemoline derivatives.[2] The patents concluded that Cyclazodone possessed properties efficacious in reducing fatigue and as a potential anorectic.[3] Structural congeners of Pemoline have been described as "excitants with unique properties distinguishing them from the sympathomimetic amines" whilst displaying less stimulatory activity and toxicity compared to amphetamine.[4]
It is included under the World Anti-Doping Agency prohibited list.[5]
