Butylamphetamine (code name PAL-90), also known as N-butylamphetamine (NBA), is a psychostimulant of the substituted amphetamine family which was never marketed.[1][2][3] It is the N-butyl analogue of amphetamine[1] and is approximately 6-fold less potent than amphetamine in rats.[2][3] The drug has been found to be inactive as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor or releasing agent (IC50 and EC50 > 10,000 nM, respectively).[1] With regard to structure–activity relationships, the potency of N-substituted amphetamine derivatives decreases with increasing chain length in terms of both in vitro and in vivo activity.[1][2][3] The pharmacokinetics of butylamphetamine have been studied in humans.[4][5] It can be metabolized by CYP2D6 via ring hydroxylation similarly to amphetamine.[6][7]

Table 1 shows the transporter activity oftwo sets of compounds, one a set of phenethylamine (i.e., amphetamine) analogs and the other a set of β-keto phenethylamine (i.e., cathinone) analogs. Each set of compounds demonstrates predicable structural trends. Amphetamine is a DA releaser with an EC50 value of 8.7 nM. Modifications that increase the size of amphetamine gradually decreased release potency until the increases caused the activity to change to transport inhibition. Specifically, N-alkylation of amphetamine, going from no alkyl group (amphetamine) to methyl (methamphetamine) to ethyl (PAL-99) decreased EC50 values for release from 8.7 to 24.5 to 88.5 nM.Adding an additional methylene to form the N-propyl analog (PAL-424) caused the compound to become a DAT uptake inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1013 nM. Increasing the size even further to butyl (PAL-90) rendered the compound inactive at the DAT.

Although the number of amphetamine analogues with different amine substituents is relatively low in recreational drug markets (Cho and Segal, 1994), N-methyl and N-ethyl substitutions are sometimes found. Pharmacological activity of amphetamine-type drugs is decreased substantially if the N-alkyl chain is lengthened beyond ethyl, as previous studies show that N-propylamphetamine and N-butylamphetamine are ∼4-fold and ∼6-fold less potent than amphetamine in rats (Woolverton et al., 1980).

Ring hydroxylation was also expected because CYP2D6 can mediate the ring oxidation of other amphetamines such as N-n-butylamphetamine, N-ethylamphetamine and amphetamine (Bach et al. 1999).
