    Product Description

    (–)-Norpseudoephedrine (Item No. 45995) is an analytical reference standard categorized as an amphetamine. (–)-Norpseudoephedrine is an active metabolite of (R)-(+)-cathinone.1 It increases locomotor activity and potentiates the analgesic effect of morphine (Item Nos. ISO60147 | 15464 | 25955) in mice but inhibits its discriminatory effects.1,2 (–)-Norpseudoephedrine is regulated as a List I compound in the United States. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
