Nocaine redirects here and is not to be confused with Norcocaine(+)-CPCA (nocaine 3α-carbomethoxy-4β-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-methylpiperidine) is a stimulant drug similar in structure to pethidine (an opioid that possesses NDRI actions) and to RTI-31 but nocaine is lacking the two-carbon bridge of RTI-31’s tropane skeleton This compound was first developed as a substitute agent for cocaine.Since this time a large number of substituted phenylpiperidine derivatives have been discovered hybridizing the basic nocaine structure with that of other similar molecules such as methylphenidate meperidine and modafinil to create a large family of derivatives with a range of activity profiles and potential applications.
