Viloxazine (Viloxazin) is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, also a potent 5-HT2C agonist and 5-HT2B antagonist with an EC50 of 32 μM and an IC50 of 27 μM for 5-HT2C and 5-HT2B, respectively. The mechanism of action of Viloxazine predominantly involves serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways. Viloxazine can be used for researching depression[1][2]. |
