Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.drugs.com/uk/reboxetine-4mg-tablets-leaflet.html | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11249515 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14647527

Reboxetine is a selective noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor that acts by binding to the norepinephrine (NE) transporter and blocking reuptake of extracellular NE back into terminals. This compound has low affinity for other transporters and receptors. Reboxetine is used in acute treatment of depressive illness / major depression. Very common side effects are: difficulties to sleep (insomnia); dizziness; dry mouth; constipation; nausea (feeling sick); sweating. Based on studies conducted primarily outside the US, the FDA granted a preliminary letter of approval in 1999. However, more recent clinical studies conducted in the US and Canada, prompted by the FDA, resulted in a letter of non-approval.

Route of Administration: Oral
The concentration of reboxetine that inhibited [3H]NE the uptake into rat hippocampal synaptosomes by 50% (IC50) was 8.5 nM. IC50 values for reboxetine inhibition of [3H]DA and [3H]5-HT uptake into rat striatal and hippocampal synaptosomes were 89 and 6.9 uM, respectively.
