Chlorphentermine(trade namesApsedon,Desopimon,Lucofen) is aserotonergic appetite suppressantof theamphetaminefamily. Developed in 1962, it is the 4-chloro derivative of the better known appetite suppressantphentermine,^[2]which is still in current use.

Chlorphentermine acts as a highly selectiveserotonin releasing agent(SRA).^[3]It is not apsychostimulantand has little or noabuse potential,but is classed as aSchedule IIIdrug in the USA due mainly to its similarity to other appetite suppressants such asdiethylpropionwhich have been more widely abused. It is no longer used due mainly to safety concerns, as it has a serotonergic effects profile similar to other withdrawn appetite suppressants such asfenfluramineandaminorexwhich were found to causepulmonary hypertensionandcardiac fibrosisfollowing prolonged use.^[4]

The plasma half-life is about five days.^[5]It was withdrawn from the market in the UK in 1974.^[5]
