Description
An active metabolite of venlafaxine; inhibits NET and SERT (IC50s = 47.3 and 531.3 nM, respectively); selective for NET and SERT over 50 non-transporter targets; increases extracellular NE in the male rat hypothalamus and 5-HT in the same region when used in combination with WAY-100635; reduces the time rats spend immobile in the forced swim test in a rat model of cognitive deficits and depression induced by MI when compared with MI-vehicle control animals 16 weeks following MI; improves learning in the passive avoidance step-down test two weeks following MI compared to MI-vehicle control rats and spatial memory in the Morris water maze 16 weeks following MI
