'''Substituted phenidates''' (also known as '''phenidates''') are a class of chemicals that include compounds that ~~typically~~ produce traditional [[stimulant]] effects~~. Pharmacologically, they tend to act as~~ [[~~reuptake inhibitors~~]] of ~~the [[monoamine]] [[neurotransmitters]] [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]],~~ and ~~occasionally [[serotonin]]~~.~~{{citation needed}}~~

'''Substituted phenidates''' (also known as '''phenidates''') are a class of chemicals that include compounds that predominantly produce traditional [[stimulant]] effects when [[administered]]. They may be defined as esters of ritalinic acid and its analogs.

==Chemistry==

Substituted phenidates are a chemical class based upon the molecule [[methylphenidate]]. The molecular structure of methylphenidate is comprised of a [[Substituted Phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] core with a carbon chain substitution at the Rα position that links to the RN position, forming a piperidine ring. It also includes a substitution at the Rβ position of methyl acetate.

==Pharmacology==

Substituted phenidates primarily act as [[reuptake inhibitors]] of the [[monoamine]] [[neurotransmitters]] [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]], with the occasional addition of [[serotonin]].{{citation needed}}
