Cinnamedrine (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USAN Tooltip United States Adopted Name), also known as N-cinnamylephedrine, is a sympathomimetic drug with similar effects relative to those of ephedrine. [1] [2] It also has some local anesthetic activity. [2] Cinnamedrine was previously used, in combination with analgesics, as an antispasmodic to treat dysmenorrhea in the over-the-counter drug Midol in the 1980s. [2] [3] There is a case series of the drug being abused as a psychostimulant. [4]

Bufenadrine, also known as 2-tert-butyldiphenhydramine, is a drug described as an antiemetic, antihistamine, anticholinergic, and antiparkinsonian agent which was never marketed. It is the 2-tert-butyl analogue of diphenhydramine. The drug was found to produce stereoselective hepatotoxicity in animals and this led to the discontinuation of its development. Bufenadrine was first described in the literature by 1967. Its INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name suffix "-drine" is generally for sympathomimetics but bufenadrine itself is not actually a sympathomimetic or related agent.
