Ampyzine (INN), also known as dimethylaminopyrazine or as ampyzine sulfate (USAN) in the case of the sulfate salt (developmental code name W-3580B), is a drug described as a "central stimulant" or "CNS stimulant" and "euphoriant". It is said to be a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Ampyzine was first described in the scientific literature by 1960.
An analogue of ampyzine is triampyzine (3,5,6-trimethylampyzine; developmental code name W-3976B). This drug is described as an anticholinergic and antisecretory agent.
