Cyclazodone is a centrally acting stimulant drug developed by American Cyanamid Company in the 1960s.{{cite patent | country = US | number = 3321470 | title = 5-Arylidene-2-Amino-2-Oxazolin-4-Ones | assign1 = American Cyanamid | inventor = Howell Jr CF, Hardy RA, Quinones N | gdate = 23 May 1967 }} The drug is related to other drugs such as pemoline and thozalinone. It displayed a favorable therapeutic index and margin of safety in comparison to pemoline and other N-lower-alkyl-substituted pemoline derivatives.{{cite patent | country = US | number = 3609159 | title = 5-Phenyl-2-Cyclopropylamino-4-Oxazolinone | inventor = De Marne V, Pierre D, Guidicelli RL, Najer H | assign1 = Les Laboratoires Dausse | gdate = 28 September 1971 }} The patents concluded that cyclazodone possessed properties efficacious in reducing fatigue and as a potential anorectic.{{cite patent | country = GB | number = 1005738 | title = 5-Phenyl-2-Cyclopropylamino-4-Oxazolinone | inventor = De Marne V, Pierre D, Guidicelli RL, Najer H | assign1 = Les Laboratoires Dausse | gdate = 29 September 1965 }} Structural congeners of pemoline have been described as "excitants with unique properties distinguishing them from the sympathomimetic amines" whilst displaying less stimulatory activity and toxicity compared to amphetamine.{{cite journal | vauthors = Greenblatt EN, Osterberg AC | title = Some pharmacologic properties of thozalinone, a new excitant | journal = Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology | volume = 7 | issue = 4 | pages = 566–78 | date = July 1965 | pmid = 4378772 | doi = 10.1016/0041-008x(65)90042-6 }}
It is included under the World Anti-Doping Agency prohibited list.{{cite web | url = https://www.wada-ama.org/sites/default/files/resources/files/WADA_Prohibited_List_2008_EN.pdf | title = World Anti-Doping Agency 2008 Prohibited List | date = 22 September 2007 | work = World Anti-Doping Agency }}
Safety
Cyclazodone has not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use in humans as a nootropic, anorectic, or stimulant and thus safety information is lacking. However, in studies relating to the therapeutic uses of cyclazodone, it was noted that it exhibited less cardiotoxic and hepatotoxic effects than D-amphetamine in studies on mice.
Synthesis
:File:Cyclazodone synthesis.svg
α-Chlorophenylacetyl chloride (1) and 1-cyclopropylurea (2) react to give the amide (3). The heterocycle cyclazodone is formed on threatment of this with sodium ethoxide.Najer, H. et al, Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr., 1963, 1810.
