Sibutril is an orally administered agent for the treatment of obesity. Chemically, the active ingredient is a racemic mixture of the (+) and (-) enantiomers of cyclobutanemethanamine, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethyl-a -(2-methylpropyl)-, hydrochloride, monohydrate, and has an empirical formula of C17H29Cl2NO. Its molecular weight is 334.33.
Sibutril is used in the management of obesity by increasing the amount of neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine. Sibutril inhibits the re-uptake of these neurotransmitters by the nerve cells and alters the balance of neurotransmitters within the nerve cells. Unlike other diet drugs (fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine) which increase release of these neurotransmitters from the cells, the action of Sibutril is similar to anti-depressants (fluoxetine) which inhibit reuptake of serotonin.
