Summary
Amfecloral was marketed in the 1960s-70s as the anorectic Acutran and withdrawn worldwide by 1973. It functions as a prodrug that hydrolyzes to approximately equimolar amounts of dextroamphetamine (and some levoamphetamine) plus chloral hydrate, producing a unique profile with milder stimulation than pure amphetamine but potential next-day grogginess from the sedative component. The chloral metabolite (trichloroethanol) is a GABAergic hypnotic that can potentiate other CNS depressantsβexercise caution with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or barbiturates.

Effect Profile
Scores (1–10) curated from multiple sources:
- Effect keyword matching from PsychonautWiki catalog
- Weighted by importance: core (×3), major (×2), minor (×1)
Strong anxiety/jitters with moderate euphoria and focus, mild stimulation
Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
Acute tolerance: develops within a single session β the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Tolerance figures are extrapolated from general amphetamine patterns and chloral-hypnotic tolerance (which develops rapidly) rather than direct studies on amfecloral; treat as approximate and conservative. Avoid consecutive-day use; allow multi-day breaks to limit sleep disruption and crash severity.
