Product Data
Biological target:
Reboxetine selectively inhibits norepinephrine uptake (IC50s = 8.2 and 1,070 nM for norepinephrine and serotonin transporters, respectively). It displays >1,000-fold affinity for binding rat norepinephrine receptors compared to serotonin, histamine, acetylcholine, or dopamine receptors (Kis = 1.1, 129, 1,400, 3,900, and >10,000 nM, respectively).
In vitro activity:
The results of this study support the potential of reboxetine as an anti-Candidal biofilm agent that is beneficial as a new antifungal to combat Candidal resistance. Reference: Antibiotics (Basel). 2023 May 9;12(5):881. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37237784/
In vivo activity:
Reboxetine and hyoscine butylbromide significantly reduced rapid eye movement sleep compared with placebo. Genioglossus muscle activity (% wakefulness) during non-REM sleep was lower with reboxetine and hyoscine butylbromide. However, sleep-related reductions in tensor palatini activity were less and upper airway function improved. Reference: Sleep. 2019 Apr 1;42(4):zsy261. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30590857/
