'''~~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==

~~Piperidines are made up of the piperidine molecule, with altering functional groups attached on the numbered carbons. The molecular formula of this molecule~~ is ~~''C5H11N''. 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.

==Pharmacology==

~~The piperidiness are~~ a ~~large chemical class and compounds within it have differing~~ pharmacological effects.

Piperidines include compounds which can produce a variety of pharmacological effects. Many have been demonstrated to interact with [[Glutamate#The glutamate system|NMDA receptors]] and inhibit re-uptake of [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]].

~~==Examples==~~

*[[~~Methoxphenidine~~]]

*[[~~Methylphenidate~~]]

*[[~~Ethylphenidate]]~~

*[[Loperamide]]
