Norfenfluramine ((±)-Norfenfluramine) is a major and brain-penetrant metabolite of Fenfluramine. Norfenfluramine can interact with 5-HT transporters to release 5-HT from neurons. Norfenfluramine displays antiepileptic effects in vivo[1][2].

ChEBI: 1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-propanamine is a member of amphetamines.
