Clortermine (Voranil) was developed by Ciba in the 1960s [1] and is an anorectic drug of the amphetamine class. [2] It is the 2- chloro analogue of the better known appetite suppressant phentermine, and is the 2- chloro positional isomer of chlorphentermine. Clortermine produces very low rates of self-administration in animals similarly to chlorphentermine, [3] and as a result it likely does not act on dopamine. Instead, it may act as a serotonin and/or norepinephrine releasing agent.[ citation needed]
