Sep-225289

SEP-225,289 is an antidepressant drug derived from the active enantiomer of sibutramine, which was being developed by Sepracor. It is a so-called triple reuptake inhibitor (TRI).[1][2][3]

Similarity to Sibutramine

As can be seen by analyzing the molecular structure, SEP-225289 is a single isomer of sibutramine that has been N-dimethylated to yield a primary amine compound. According to one source, makes the compound stronger as a catecholaminergic relative to its actions on serotonin.[4] Apparently, both isomers of sibutramine are active but it is the R enantiomer that is held accountable for its anorectic action.
