MedKoo Cat#: 319672 | Name: Liafensine

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Liafensine, also known as BMS-820836, is a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI). In vitro, Liafensine exhibits potent inhibition of the human serotonin transporter (SERT, IC₅₀ ≈ 2.9 nM), norepinephrine transporter (NET, IC₅₀ ≈ 8.8 nM), and dopamine transporter (DAT, IC₅₀ ≈ 27 nM), indicating a balanced triple reuptake inhibition profile. In phase II clinical trials, it showed antidepressant activity comparable to escitalopram, but it was discontinued due to insufficient differentiation in efficacy and concerns over its side effect profile, including increased blood pressure and insomnia.
