ethylphenidate(CAS#57413-43-1)

Application

Ethylphenidate (CAS 57413-43-1) is a psychostimulant and a close structural analog of methylphenidate (Ritalin®). It functions as a potent dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), effectively increasing the synaptic levels of these neurotransmitters by blocking their respective transporter proteins. This compound is primarily utilized as a certified reference standard (CRS) and pharmaceutical impurity standard in analytical method development (AMD), method validation (AMV), and quality control (QC) for the production of methylphenidate active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA). As a DEA Schedule I controlled substance in the United States, ethylphenidate has no approved medical use and a high potential for abuse, strictly limiting its application to research and forensic toxicology. In preclinical research, it is a valuable tool for investigating dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibition, studying the pharmacology of stimulants, and developing detection methods for new psychoactive substances (NPS) in biological matrices.
