Product Description: (+)-Norfenfluramine a major hepatic metabolite of (+)-fenfluramine, is a selective 5-HT2B receptor agonist (Ki: 11.2 nM). (+)-Norfenfluramine potently stimulates the hydrolysis of inositol phosphates and increases intracellular Ca2+. (+)-Norfenfluramine can be used for the research of primary pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart disease[1].
Formula: C10H12F3N
