Soluble in chloroform, methanol, ethanol, glacial acetic acid or water, slightly soluble in anhydrous ethanol, insoluble in anhydrous acetic acid or acetone, insoluble in ether. Melting point 117～121℃. Acute toxicity LD50 mice, rats (mg/kg): 1000, 1080 oral; 173, 130 intraperitoneal injection.

Originator

Bifemelane hydrochloride,ABATRA Technology Co., Ltd.

Definition

ChEBI: N-methyl-4-[2-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]-1-butanamine is a diarylmethane.

Manufacturing Process

N-Methyl-4-[2-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]-1-butanamine was prepared from 2- (5-bromopentyloxy)diphenylmethane and of methylamine in ethanol is at 50°C in a sealed tube (heating for 3 hours). Ethanol and excess methylamine are distilled in vacuo, 2 N NaOH aqueous solution is added, and the reaction product is extracted with ether. Dry hydrogen chloride gas is passed into the ether solution, and the precipitate collected by filtration. Recrystallization from ethanol-ether gives N-methyl-4-[2-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]-1-butanamine hydrochloride, m.p. 87.5-89.5°C.

Therapeutic Function

Antidepressant, Antiulcer, Nootropic

Biological Activity

Antidepressant MAO inhibitor. Reverses catalepsy induced by tetrabenazine in mice and increases locomotor activity in MPTP-treated marmosets.
