| ChEBI Name | methylphenidate |
| Stars | |
| Definition | A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of the two threo isomers of methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate. A central stimulant and indirect-acting sympathomimetic, is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) in the treatment of hyperactivity disorders in children and for the treatment of narcolepsy. |

| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Biological Roles: | adrenergic agent Any agent that acts on an adrenergic receptor or affects the life cycle of an adrenergic transmitter. dopamine uptake inhibitor A dopaminergic agent that blocks the transport of dopamine into axon terminals or into storage vesicles within terminals. Most of the adrenergic uptake inhibitors also inhibit dopamine uptake. adrenergic uptake inhibitor Adrenergic uptake inhibitors are drugs that block the transport of adrenergic transmitters into axon terminals or into storage vesicles within terminals. The tricyclic antidepressants and amphetamines are among the therapeutically important drugs that may act via inhibition of adrenergic transport. Many of these drugs also block transport of serotonin. sympathomimetic agent A drug that mimics the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included in this class are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters. |

Many of these drugs also block transport of serotonin. psychotropic drug A loosely defined grouping of drugs that have effects on psychological function. sympathomimetic agent A drug that mimics the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included in this class are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters. central nervous system stimulant Any drug that enhances the activity of the central nervous system. |
