higher quality image

I found something from commons since the previous was deleted. Just as a temporary substitute. 174px wide is an odd size and not high quality enough. A replacement is requested but not urgent. I don't know how to make SVG's and this will work for now... I hope... --x1987x^(talk) 02:44, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding metabolism

Non-substituted amphetamines have been shown to be primarily metabolized to the corresponding 4-hydroxy-amphetamine, however wouldn't the Fluorine bonded to the para position (Fluorine being the most electronegative element and the carbon-fluorine bond being extremely strong) stop the molecule from being para-hydroxylated? There's been no studies done on this compound so I think the whole metabolism section should be removed/edited.

    Yes, I believe that some study provided that as a reason for why it might not be neurotoxic, and it explains why the total duration of stimulant effects is so long.
