Application

(R)-Tomoxetine hydrochloride has been used as a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor:
  • to study the role of L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (L-DOPS) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer′s disease in mice
  • to study its effects on set shifting in rats
  • to study its effects on rat brain as a result of its long-term use

Biochem/physiol Actions

(R)-Tomoxetine hydrochloride is an efficient inhibitor of presynaptic norepinephrine transporters. It also positively regulates the release of acetylcholine in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). (R)-Tomoxetine hydrochloride binds to the serotonin (5-HT) transporter. It is involved in blocking the cortical N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.. (R)-Tomoxetine hydrochloride exhibits therapeutic effects against attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).
Norepinephrine uptake blocker.
