О-Desmethylvenlafaxine

Описание

Desvenlafaxine is a new member of the SNRI class of antidepressants. It is marketed as an extended release tablet for once-daily oral treatment of MDD in adult patients. Desvenlafaxine (O-desmethylvenlafaxine) is the major active metabolite of the previously marketed antidepressant venlafaxine (Effexor). Similar to venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine is a more potent inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake (IC₅₀＝47 and 531 nM, respectively) than that of dopamine (62% inhibition at 100 mM) in in vitro studies. It does not have significant in vitro affinity for other neurotransmitter reporters such as a1-adrenergic, H1-histaminergic, or muscarine-cholinergic receptors. Desvenlafaxine is marketed as a racemic mixture. Specific pharmacological properties of the enantiomers of desvenlafaxine have not been reported.
