Amphetaminil (brand name Aponeuron; former developmental code name AN-1), also known as N-cyanobenzylamphetamine,[1] is a stimulant drug derived from amphetamine, which was developed in the 1970s and used for the treatment of obesity,[2] ADHD,[3][4] and narcolepsy.[5] It has largely been withdrawn from clinical use following problems with abuse.[6] The drug is a prodrug to amphetamine.[7][8]
