bromantaneとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Bromantane is a stimulant drug developed in Russia during the late 1980s, which acts mainly by inhibiting the reuptake of both dopamine and serotonin in the brain, although it also has anticholinergic effects at very high doses. 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, following which it was added to the banned list as a stimulant and masking agent. Research on this class of drugs has been fairly extensive and a large family of derivatives are known, although bromantane remains the best studied, and human trials continue for applications such as increasing endurance under extreme conditions.
