Chemistry:Ampreloxetine

From HandWiki

Ampreloxetine (INN, USAN; developmental code name TD-9855) is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) which is under development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH).[1][2][3]

It shows high affinity for both the norepinephrine transporter (NET) and the serotonin transporter (SERT), with 4-fold selectivity for the NET over the SERT, and is thought to act as a dual serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) at higher doses.[3][4]

As of November 2023, ampreloxetine is in phase 3 clinical trials for NOH.[1] The drug was also under development for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and fibromyalgia, but development for these uses was discontinued.[1][5]
