Trecadrine (INN) is a drug that was originally developed as an anti-ulcer agent but was found to act as a β3-adrenergic receptor agonist with potential anti-obesity and anti-diabetic properties.[2][3][1][4] It is selective for the β3-adrenergic receptor, lacking activity at the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors.[1] The drug is orally active.[1] Structurally, trecadrine is a substituted β-hydroxyamphetamine and derivative of β-hydroxy-N-methylamphetamine (ephedrine, pseudoephedrine) with a tricyclic moiety attached at the amine.[2][5]
