Application

Norfluoxetine hydrochloride has been used to examine if psychoactive pharmaceuticals in drinking water at environmental concentrations could induce neuronal gene expression.[1] It has also been used to examine whether at environmental concentrations it can alter in vitro expression of autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated synaptic proteins in human neurons.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluoxetine metabolite; more potent inhibitor of serotonin uptake than fluoxetine with a half-life in vivo of 5-7 days.
Norfluoxetine is an active metabolite of fluoxetine. It disturbs the production of estrogen in a co-culture model of the feto-placental unit.[3]

Caution

Hygroscopic, photosensitive

No antiviral drugs currently exist for the treatment of enterovirus infections, which are often severe and potentially life threatening. Molecular screening of small molecule libraries identified fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, as a potent inhibitor of coxsackievirus replication. Fluoxetine
