Chlorosipentramine is an analogue of the
anorectic drug
sibutramine, which has been sold as an ingredient in
weight loss products sold as
dietary supplements, first detected in South Korea in 2017.[1] It is one of a number of sibutramine derivatives which have been sold in grey-market weight loss products since sibutramine itself was taken off the market due to safety concerns. Others include
desmethylsibutramine,
didesmethylsibutramine, homosibutramine,
chlorosibutramine, and benzylsibutramine.[2][3] Chlorosipentramine is illegal in South Korea along with other related compounds.[4][5]
