 Use of Norfluoxetine hydrochloride


Norfluoxetine hydrochloride is an active N-demethylated metabolite of Fluoxetine. Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor that is metabolized to Norfluoxetine hydrochloride by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4. Norfluoxetine hydrochloride inhibits 5-HT uptake and inhibits CaV3.3 T current (IC50 = 5 μM). Norfluoxetine hydrochloride has anticonvulsant activity[1][2][3][4].

In Vivo Pretreatment with Fluoxetine or Norfluoxetine hydrochloride (20mg/kg s.c.), as well as Phenytoin (30 mg/kg s.c.) and Clonazepam (0.1mg/kg s.c.) significantly increases both the rate and duration of survival, demonstrating a significant protective effect against Pentylenetetrazol-induced epilepsy[1].
