33-Diphenylcyclobutanamine is a psychostimulant drug which was originally prepared as an antidepressant in the late 1970s. It appears to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin norepinephrine and dopamine and may also induce their release as well. The N-methyl and NN-dimethyl analogues of the compound are also known and are more potent. All three agents produce locomotor stimulation in animal studies with the tertiary amine being the strongest.
