viloxazine is an approved drug (FDA (2021))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Viloxazine was originally described as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI), principally based on its ability to potentiate noradrenergic effects. It also modulates 5-HT (serotonin) activity, via antagonistic activity at 5-HT2B and agonistic activity at 5-HT2C receptors, and it increases extracellular 5-HT levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) [4]. Viloxazine's chemical structure is different from conventional tri- or tetra-cyclic antidepressants. The INN stipulates a racemic mixture of enantiomers. We show the structure without specified stereochemistry to represent the mixture. The hydrocholride salt (SPN-812) was progressed by Supernus Pharmaceuticals for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adults.
