'''Substituted phenidates''', also known as '''phenidates''', are a class of chemicals that include compounds ~~with psychoactive~~ effects.

'''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}}

==Chemistry==

Substituted phenidates are a chemical class based upon the molecule [[~~Methylphenidate~~]]. ~~Methylphenidate~~ is ~~made up~~ of a [[Substituted Phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] ~~molecule~~ with a carbon chain substitution at the Rα position that links to the RN position forming a piperidine ring~~, and~~ a substitution at the Rβ position of methyl acetate.

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.
