HDMP-28 ormethylnaphthidate is astimulantdrug of thepiperidine andnaphthylaminopropane groups, closely related tomethylphenidate (Ritalin), but with thebenzene ring replaced bynaphthalene. It is a potentdopamine reuptake inhibitor, with several times the potency of methylphenidate and a short duration of action,[1] and is astructural isomer of another potent dopamine reuptake inhibitor,N,O-Dimethyl-4-(2-naphthyl)piperidine-3-carboxylate. It has been sold as adesigner drug since around 2015.[2]

Most of the TMP analogs of HDMP-28 haveSERT Ki values in the range >10,000 and so are selective for dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake, with little or no effect on serotonin. HDMP-28 has high affinity to SERT, and so behaves as atriple reuptake inhibitor.[3]

D.R. is the discrimination ratio = [3H]DA ÷ [3H]CFT.
A low D.R. indicates more addictive, whereas a high D.R. indicates low propensity for self-administration.
HDMP-28 is illegal in Switzerland as of December 2015.[7]
