(R,R)-Reboxetine mesylate is an antidepressant agent with great bioavailability. (R,R)-Reboxetine is the enantiomer of Reboxetine, which is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. Reboxetine consists of (R,R) and (S,S) enantiomer, has low affinity for alpha-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors and low toxicity in animals[1][2].
