MedKoo Cat#: 326702 | Name: Amineptine

Description:

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

Amineptine was developed by the French Society of Medical research in the 1960s. Amineptine was used as an atypical tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that selectively inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and to a lesser extent norepinephrine, in turn producing an antidepressant effect After its release into the European market, cases of hepatotoxicity emerged, some serious. This, along with the potential for abuse, led to the suspension of the French marketing authorization for Survector in 1999.
