Indatraline

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Indatraline is a non-selective monoamine transporter inhibitor that was researched as a potential treatment for cocaine addiction and depression. It was developed in the 1990s by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Indatraline inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine by binding to the transporters, and this leads to increased extracellular concentrations of these neurotransmitters and therefore an increase in neurotransmission.

Development and Research[edit | edit source]

Indatraline was developed by Eli Lilly and Company in the 1990s. It was researched as a potential treatment for depression and cocaine addiction. In animal studies, indatraline was shown to reduce cocaine use. However, development was discontinued due to the risk of seizures.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

The most serious side effect of indatraline is the risk of seizures, which led to the discontinuation of its development. Other side effects include insomnia, nausea, and headache.
