Based on the types of active metabolites normally produced from biotransformation of psychostimulant drugs,active metabolites:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active metabolites tend to prolong the effects of the parent drug, as they are still capable of stimulating the central nervous system. This is particularly relevant for psychostimulants, which have a direct effect on brain function. While some active metabolites may produce toxic effects, this is not necessarily a characteristic of all active metabolites. Similarly, active metabolites do not typically slow down distribution of the drug or inhibit passage of the parent drug through the blood-brain barrier.
