Amphodynamine is a cocktail of psychoactive drugs through which the centers of the brain responsible for manipulating SLC-Expressive abilities are overclocked, empowering the user and granting them capabilities they are not normally afforded. This drug was utilized by the Institute to push Evolved abilities far beyond their normal their usual limitations, but since the Institute's collapse is no longer available.
Amphodynamine I
Amphodynamine I, produced by the Company, was a cocktail of psychoactive drugs taken intravenously that generated a 50% increase in the capability of SLC-Expressive abilities. It had an onset time of one hour and lasted for roughly 30 minutes before being exhausted. Production of amphodynamine I stopped in 2009, and records of its exact chemical composition were intentionally redacted from the Company archives during the organization's fall. The only information remaining on amphodynamine I may be in the hands of Sabra Dalton, the archive's caretaker.
Amphodynamine II
In the fall of 2009, then Company researcher Doctor Bella Sheridan concocted an alternate version of amphodynamine by combining the drug Refrain with the adynomine II neurotoxin utilized by both government and Company officials. Bella's version of amphodynamine catalyzes in the body instantaneously, unlike the original. Unfortunately, this version of the drug also possesses a highly addictive quality, exactly like Refrain, though it replaces the psychoactive hallucinations with enhanced ability output.
After the fall of the Institute in 2011 and the loss of all manufacturing opportunities for adynomine III, amphodynamine could no longer be produced. Though the drug was mass-produced by the Institute, its shelf life and the requirement of refrigeration means that most (if not all) stores of amphodynamine are no longer viable for use. As its synthesis method was never shared outside the Institute, and the original active compound cannot be confidently extrapolated from degraded remnants, what exactly amphodynamine was and its mechanism of action remain matters of speculation for the greater research community.
Significance
From the original discovery of the new, more potent version of amphodynamine discovered in Bella's research, to the catastrophic snow storm unleashed by Julie Fournier, to the Flashforward visions that plagued New York City in early 2010, the use of amphodynamine has left major impacts on the world.
