Product Description: Wy-45494 hydrochloride (N-Desmethyl Venlafaxine hydrochloride; Wy 45494) is a minor active metabolite of the selective norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine. It is formed from venlafaxine via the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isomer CYP3A4.2. Wy-45494 hydrochloride inhibits norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake in rat synaptosomal preparations (IC50s of 4.7 and 1.6 μM, respectively). In vivo, Wy-45494 hydrochloride reversed reserpine-induced hypothermia in mice at a minimum effective dose (MED) of 10 mg/kg.
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
Formula: C16H26ClNO2
