SummaryIn 1927, the U.S. medical community began to use ephedrine, which is the active ingredient in ma haung, a plant, to open bronchial passages in patients with asthma. As the supplies of naturally occurring Ephedra vulgaris began to dwindle, pharmaceutical companies began to search for a synthetic alternative. Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887, but because there was very little interest in it, the substance went unnoticed until it became the alternative to ephedrine (Feldman et al., 1997). By the 1930s, all the major effects of amphetamine were known. While researching the effects, it was discovered that amphetamines could awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy
