Bromantane is a stimulant drug developed in Russia during the late 1980s,[1][2] which acts mainly by inhibiting the reuptake of both dopamine and serotonin in the brain,[3][4][5][6] although it also has anticholinergic effects at very high doses.[7][8] It was used as a doping agent to enhance athletic performance, and several athletes tested positive for the drug at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games,[9] following which it was added to the banned list. Research on this class of drugs has been fairly extensive and a large family of derivatives are known, although bromantane remains the best studied,[10] and human trials continue for applications such as increasing endurance under extreme conditions.[11]
