Seproxetine, also known as (S)-norfluoxetine, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is the most important active metabolite of the widely used antidepressant fluoxetine, but little is known about its pharmacological actions. Seproxetine was being investigated by Eli Lilly and Company as an antidepressant; however, a cardiac side effect was noted and development was discontinued.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

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 (S)-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
