Application

Desvenlafaxine hydrochloride has been used to evaluate if its occurrence in drinking water at environmental concentrations could induce neuronal gene expression.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Desvenlafaxine hydrochloride is a dual SERT/NET reuptake inhibitor. It is a major active metabolite of venlafaxine (#542); brain penetrant; Ki = 40 nM and 122 nM for hSERT and hNET, respectively (weak binding at the hDAT). Inhibition of [3H]5-HT or [3H]NE uptake for the hSERT or hNET produced IC50 values of 47 and 531 nM.
Desvenlafaxine hydrochloride is a psychoactive drug. Incidence of this drug in environmental samples might induce in vitro gene expression associated with neurological disorders.
