Methamphetamine molecule

Methamphetamine molecule. Computer graphic of the drug methamphetamine (formula C10.H15.N), a quicker acting and longer lasting derivative of amphetamine. The atoms (spheres) are colour-coded: carbon (yellow), nitrogen (blue) and hydrogen (white). Methamphetamine is synthetically produced, and often taken as an illegal stimulant. It acts on the central nervous system, alleviating fatigue and producing a feeling of mental alertness and well-being. It is now of limited use medically, due to side effects such as dependence and causing psychotic states

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Methamphetamine molecule, a potent and controversial drug. Created through computer graphics, this image vividly portrays the chemical composition of Methamphetamine (C10. H15. N), which is derived from amphetamine. The atoms within the molecule are color-coded to aid in understanding its complex arrangement: carbon spheres appear in yellow, nitrogen spheres in blue, and hydrogen spheres in white. As an illegal stimulant that acts on the central nervous system, Methamphetamine offers users a quick-acting and long-lasting high. It effectively combats fatigue while inducing feelings of mental alertness and well-being. While once used for medical purposes due to its stimulating effects, Methamphetamine's usage is now limited due to its detrimental side effects such as dependence and psychosis. This synthetic substance is primarily produced illicitly rather than through pharmaceutical means. This visually striking representation serves as a reminder of both the allure and dangers associated with drugs like Methamphetamine. Its molecular structure provides insight into how these substances interact with our bodies at a microscopic level. Through this artwork, Science Photo Library aims to educate viewers about the biochemical complexities behind illicit drugs without endorsing or promoting their use commercially.
