Prolintane is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant[2] and norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) developed in the 1950s.[3] Being an amphetamine derivative, it is closely related in chemical structure to other drugs such as pyrovalerone, MDPV, and propylhexedrine, and has a similar mechanism of action.[4] Many cases of prolintane abuse have been reported.[5]

Under the brand name Katovit, prolintane was commercialized by the Spanish pharmaceutical company FHER until 2001. It was most often used by students and workers as a stimulant to provide energy and increase alertness and concentration.[medical citation needed]
