Bioactivity | Norfenfluramine ((±)-Norfenfluramine) is a major and brain-penetrant metabolite of Fenfluramine. Norfenfluramine can interact with 5-HT transporters to release 5-HT from neurons. Norfenfluramine displays antiepileptic effects in vivo[1][2]. |
Invitro | (±)-Norfenfluramine interacts with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) transporters to release 5-HT from neurons[1].(±)-Norfenfluramine increases [3H]dopamine and [3H] norepinephrine release in vitro[1]. |
