Levophacetoperane (Lidepran) is a psychostimulant developed by Rhone-Poulenc in the 1950s. The drug has been used as an antidepressant and anorectic. It is the reverse ester of methylphenidate. The reverse esters of many drugs which contain an ester group in their structure such as pethidine and cocaine show similar activity to the parent compound.
