Product Information

• Name: 2-Phenyl-2-(2-piperidy)acetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant drug used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is a prodrug of the active compound, 2-phenyl-2-(2-piperidin)acetic acid (Ritalinic acid), which inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine into the presynaptic neuron. Methylphenidate can be detected by LC-MS/MS in wastewater, providing an analytical method for predicting the presence of this substance in wastewater treatment plants. This drug has minimal toxicity in model organisms and can be metabolized by methylation to form a glucuronide conjugate. Methylphenidate has been shown to increase locomotor activity when administered at low doses, but not at high doses. At high doses, it increases locomotor activity up to 3 hours after administration and decreases locomotor activity 1 hour after administration.
