Biochem/physiol Actions

Viloxazine (ICI 58,834) is an orally active serotonin norepinephrine modulating agent (SNMA) originally reported as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) with antidepressant (ED10 from 0.3-1 mg/kg p.o. against reserpine-induced hypothermia in mice), while exhibiting less sedative efficacy (locomotor activity reduction ED10 from 3-10 mg/kg p.o. in mice) and no monoamine oxidase inhibitory potency. Viloxazine shows 5-HT2B antagonist and 5-HT2C agonist activity in vitro and increases extracellular 5-HT levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in vivo, a brain area implicated in Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The optical isomers of 2-(2-ethoxyphenoxymethyl)tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine (viloxazine) and 2-(3-methoxyphenoxymethyl)tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine have been prepared and absolute configurations have been assigned. In their action on the central nervous system the S isomers are at least ten times more potent than the R isomers. The

Viloxazine was historically described as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI). Since NRIs have previously demonstrated efficacy in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), viloxazine underwent contemporary investigation in the treatment of ADHD. Its clinical and safety profile, however, was found to be

Some 2-aryloxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazines have been shown to possess marked antidepressant activity. The 1,4-oxazines were synthesized by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the readily available 6-aryloxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazin-3-ones. High antidepressant activity was associated with ortho substitution of the 2-phenoxymethyl group and with 1,4-oxazines devoid

The effects of viloxazine, a clinically effective antidepressant, on noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake and various related pharmacological activities were determined and compared to those of the tricyclic antidepressants desimipramine, imipramine, and amitriptyline. Viloxazine inhibitied [3H]NA uptake in the
