N-Hydroxyamphetamine (NOHA), also known as AMPH-OH, is a stimulant drug of the amphetamine family.[1][2][3] It is the N-hydroxy derivative of amphetamine and has similar potency in terms of stimulant-like activity in animals.[1][3] NOHA is a known metabolite of amphetamine[4][5] and may be a prodrug of amphetamine.[1][2] It has been encountered as a novel designer drug.[6][7]

"In drug discrimination tests in rats, both N-ethyl and N-hydroxy amphetamine gave complete substitution in (+)-amphetamine-trained rats (Glennon et al., 1988). [...] Note that tertiary amine congeners may be N-dealkylated in vivo to generate secondary amines, which are inherently more potent. [...] In a study of the analgesic and psychopharmacological effects of a series of N-alkylated MDA derivatives, Braun et al. (1980) reported that only the N-methyl, N-ethyl, and N-hydroxy compounds were active. However, evidence suggests that the N-hydroxy compound may be reduced metabolically to MDA, a process known to occur with the N-hydroxy derivative of PCA (Fuller et al., 1974)."

"The latter compound, the N-hydroxy, in all probability serves merely as a prodrug for MDA, being metabolically reduced to the primary amine, as has been observed for para-chloramphetamine (PCA) (Fuller et al. 1974). [...] The N-hydroxy analog of AMPH (i.e., N-OH AMPH), a metabolite of AMPH, also produces AMPH-like effects and is about twice as potent as AMPH (table 2). [...] Although N-hydroxy-p-chloroamphetamine did deplete serotonin, it was metabolized rapidly and almost quantitatively to p-chloroamphetamine (Fuller et al. 1974).".
