 Sibutramine (CAS NO.106650-56-0) has been used as an appetite suppressant administered orally for the treatment of obesity.

  Sibutramine (CAS NO.106650-56-0) is a centrally-acting serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor structurally related to amphetamines, and is also under review by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency. It is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States, despite having virtually no potential for misuse due to its lack of appreciable dopaminergic effects. As a neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor, it reduces the reuptake of serotonin (by 53%), norepinephrine (by 54%), and dopamine (by 16%), thereby increasing the levels of these substances in synaptic clefts and helping enhance satiety. It has a number of clinically significant interactions, and a higher number of cardiovascular events has been observed in people taking it verses control (11.4% vs. 10.0%).
