Cypenamine is a stimulant drug. It is reported to have antidepressant effects. The trans isomer is reported to be more active than the racemate.[1]

Cypenamine is legal throughout the world, although there are no commercial suppliers at present. Its chemical structure has a vague similarity to controlled stimulant drugs such as fencamfamine, but its structure would probably not be close enough for it to be considered a controlled substance analogue.
