Biochem/physiol Actions

Venlafaxine is a dual serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor that displays Ki values of 82 and 2480 nM respectively. It is a general class antidepressant.

Venlafaxine is an antidepressant. The mechanism of the antidepresant action of venlafaxine in humans is associated with its potentiation of neurotransmitter activity in the CNS. Venlafaxine is a potent inhibitor of neuronal serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake and weak inhibitor of dopamine reuptake. Venlafaxine has no significant activity for muscarinic, histaminergic, or α-1 adrenergic receptors in vitro. Venlafaxine does not possess MAO inhibitor activity.
