| Name | Atomoxetine hydrochloride |
| Description | Atomoxetine hydrochloride (LY 139603) is the hydrochloride salt of atomoxetine, a phenoxy-3-propylamine derivative and selective non-stimulant, norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor with cognitive-enhancing activity. Although its precise mechanism of action is unknown, atomoxetine appears to selectively inhibit the pre-synaptic norepinephrine transporter, resulting in inhibition of the presynaptic reabsorption of norepinephrine and prolongation of norepinephrine activity in the synaptic cleft. The effect on cognitive brain function may result in improved attention and decreased impulsivity and activity levels. |
| In vitro | Atomoxetine selectively inhibited the presynaptic uptake of norepinephrine by adrenergic neurons in animals and was also active in an animal model of depression. In microdialysis studies, Atomoxetine had no effect on 5-HTEX levels but increased extracellular norepinephrine levels in the prefrontal cortex by 3-fold. Atomoxetine did not alter DAEX and Fos in the nucleus ambiguus and striatum, but increased DAEX concentrations in the PFC by 3-fold and Fos by 3.7-fold. |
| In vivo | Atomoxetine is a selective inhibitor of norepinephrine reuptake (Ki: 5 nM) and relatively unselective for 5-hydroxytryptamine (Ki: 77 nM) and dopamine transporter protein (Ki: 1451 nM). |
