Interactions

Bromantane (trade name Ladasten / Ладастен) is a Russian pharmaceutical drug developed in the late 1980s that possesses both stimulant and anxiolytic properties. Although it is a commonly used medication in Russia and surrounding countries, it has not gained widespread recognition or pharmaceutical use in other countries. During the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, 5 different Russian athletes tested positive for bromantane use.

A study conducted on human subjects displayed bromantane's ability to improve endurance and work capacity during stressful and intense conditions. This is because bromantane works as an actoprotector, a substance that makes the body more stable under physical duress without increasing oxygen consumption.

Chemistry

Adamantane molecule

Bromantane is a chemical derivative of adamantane, a polyhedral organic compound containing four fused cyclohexane rings. Bromantane's structure consists of adamantane bound at R₂ to a nitrogenous group which is in turn bonded to a phenyl ring substituted at R₄ with a bromine group.

Pharmacology

Bromantane is atypical among stimulants in the sense that it inhibits serotonin reuptake in addition to inhibiting dopamine reuptake. It also increases levels of norepinephrine, but its means of doing so are unclear. Bromantane's anxiolytic properties are due to its strengthening of GABA-ergic mediation.
