| Bioactivity | Atomoxetine hydrochloride is a potent and selective noradrenalin re-uptake inhibitor (Ki values are 5, 77 and 1451 nM for inhibition of radioligand binding to human NET, SERT and DAT respectively). IC50 value: 5 nM (Ki for human NET)Target: NETAtomoxetine displays minimal affinity for a range of other neurotransmitter receptors and transporters (Ki > 1 μM). Atomoxetine is antidepressant and a commonly used non-stimulant treatment for Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). |
