New psychoactive substances and among them synthetic cathinones represent a significant threat to human health globally. However, within such a large pool of substances derived from a natural compound ((S)-cathinone), substances with important pharmaceutical uses can be identified, as already documented by bupropione. Therefore, this work aimed to find a synthetic pathway for a novel synthetic...
Deschloroketamine has been synthesized, the absolute configuration of enantiomers elucidated and the in vitro cytotoxicity of the enantiomers determined using nine different cell lines.
