Furfurylmethylamphetamine (FURFENOREX)

Phase 2 active Small molecule Quality 27/100

Furfurylmethylamphetamine (generic name: FURFENOREX) is a furfenorex drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development.

Furfenorex is believed to work by inhibiting the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

Furfurylmethylamphetamine, also known as Furfenorex, is a small molecule drug of the furfenorex class. Its original development and current ownership are unknown. Furfenorex's target and approved indications are also unknown, and it has not been approved by the FDA. The commercial status of Furfenorex is unclear, and key safety considerations are unavailable. Further research is needed to understand this compound's pharmacology and clinical applications.

Likelihood of approval
12.3% vs 15.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2031–2034
Steps remaining: Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 2 → approval rate +15.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 2 drugs reach approval ~15.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • CNS / neurology attrition -3.0pp
    CNS drugs have historically high Phase 3 failure rates (notably in Alzheimer disease + major depression).
