'''Piperidines''' are a class of chemicals that include compounds with psychoactive effects.
'''Substituted piperidines''' refers to a class of compounds which can produce [[stimulant]], [[pain relief|analgesic]] or [[dissociative]] effects.


==Chemistry==
==Chemistry==
Piperidines are made up of the piperidines molecule, with altering functional groups attached on the numbered carbons. The molecular formula of this molecule is ''(CH2)5NH''. It can be defined as an heterocyclic amine consisting of a six-membered ring containing five methylene bridges (-CH2-) and one amine bridge (-NH-).
Piperidine is an organic, heterocyclic compound consisting of a six-membered ring containing one amine (nitrogen) constituent. Its ring is fully saturated, and contains no double bonds. Piperidine is a staple component for the synthesis of complex drugs and chemicals.


Hydrogen atoms around the structure can be substituted for other functional groups to produce drugs of varying potency, affinity, efficacy and half-life.
