Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27890559 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1415832 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15678084 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19014888

Norfluoxetine is an active N-desmethyl metabolite of the antidepressant fluoxetine that inhibits serotonin uptake. Norfluoxetine is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) but little is known about its pharmacological actions. Seproxetine (S- Norfluoxetine) was being investigated by Eli Lilly as an antidepressant but development was never completed and the drug was never marketed.

Sample Use Guides

Rats were treated with Norfluoxetine (0-20mg/kg)
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Rat cortical membranes equivalent to 50 mkg of protein were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes in 2 ml of reaction medium containing the Norfluoxetine (1-1000nM), 0.1 nM [3Hlparoxetine, 50 mmol/L Tris-HG, pH 7.4, 150 mmol/L NaG, and 5 mmol/L KCl. Fluoxetine at 1 mkM/kg was used to determine nonspecific binding
