Levomilnacipran (1S, 2R/F2695) is an enantiomer of milnacipran, a serotonin/norepinephrine (5-HT/NE) reuptake inhibitor. Levomilnacipran is pharmacologically more active as compared with racemic mixture and dextromilnacipran (1R, 2S/F2696). The safety of the drug is
also higher than the safety of a racemate, resulting in a beneficial impact on the therapeutic effect. Pierre Fabre and Forest Laboratories are developing levomilnacipran extended release (ER) [FETZIMA™], an enantiomer of milnacipran, for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). In addition, Pierre Fabre (the originator of the compound) is developing the drug to improve recovery in patients with ischaemic stroke.
