Diphenylprolinol (D2PM), or (R/S)-(±)-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinyl-methanol, is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor which is used as a designer drug.[1]

Pharmacology

The dextrorotary (R)-(+)-enantiomer is the more pharmacologically active, although a variety of related derivatives have been studied.[2]

Side effects including chest pain (suggestive of possible cardiovascular toxicity) have been seen following recreational use of diphenylprolinol, although it was combined with glaucine in a party pill product, thus making it impossible to say for certain which drug was responsible.[3]

Other uses

Diphenylprolinol can be used to prepare the chiral CBS catalyst, which is used for enantioselective organic synthesis.[4]
