1 gram of 2-FA

2-Fluoroamphetamine (2-FA) is a

positional isomers of one another. The replacement of a hydrogen atom with a fluorine atom in certain compounds to facilitate passage through the blood–brain barrier, as is desirable in central nervous system pharmaceutical agents, is a common practice due to the corresponding increase in lipophilicity granted by this substitution.[2][3]

Pharmacology

Anorexiant dose (amount inhibiting food intake by 50% for 2 hours, given 1 hour earlier) = 15 mg/kg (rat; p.o.).[4][medical citation needed]

Analgesic dose (50% inhibition of response to tail-clamp) = 20 mg/kg (mouse; i.p.).[4][medical citation needed]

Effect on blood pressure: 0.5 mg/kg (rat; i.v.) produces an increase in BP of 29 mm.[4][medical citation needed]

Toxicology

LD50 (mouse; i.p.) = 100 mg/kg.[4][medical citation needed]

Legal Status

United States

The Federal Analogue Act, 21 U.S.C. § 813, is a section of the United States Controlled Substances Act, allowing any chemical "substantially similar" to an illegal drug (in Schedule I or II) to be treated as if it were also in Schedule I or II, but only if it is intended (ref 1) for human consumption. 2-FA may be considered to be an analog of amphetamine, thus falling under the Federal Analog Act.

China

As of October 2015 2-FA is a controlled substance in China.[5]
