Pemoline, formerly sold under the brand name Cylert among others, is a stimulant medication which was used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy,[2]- it has since been discontinued in most countries due to rare but serious liver toxicity.[4][5] The medication was taken by mouth.[2]

Common side effects include insomnia, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, irritability, and headaches,[1][2] while rare cases of serious liver damage requiring liver transplantation or causing death have been reported.[6][7] As a stimulant, Pemoline acts as a selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor and releasing agent[1][8][2][9] via indirect agonism of dopamine receptors.[10] In addition, it shows little activity with respect to norepinephrine, thus minimal to no cardiovascular or sympathomimetic effects in comparison to many other stimulants.[1][8][2]

Pemoline was first synthesized in 1913, but its stimulant activity was not discovered until the 1930s, nor used for ADHD until 1975.[11][12][1] Between 1997 and 2005, many countries, including the United States, withdrew the drug due to liver toxicity.[13][7][14] However, it remains available in Japan for the treatment of narcolepsy at lower doses than those used for ADHD.[5] Pemoline is a schedule IV controlled substance in the United States due to structural and functional similarity to other stimulants, and potential for misuse.[15][16] but is noted to have less misuse potential than other stimulant drugs.[1]
