MIN-117

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

MIN-117 is a chemical compound that is being studied for its potential use in the treatment of mental health disorders such as major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. It is a serotonin and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which means it works by increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

MIN-117 is a phenethylamine derivative. It is structurally related to other phenethylamine derivatives that are used as psychoactive drugs, but it has a unique mechanism of action. It inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters that are involved in mood regulation.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The exact mechanism of action of MIN-117 is not fully understood. However, it is known that it works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and dopamine. This increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain, which can help to improve mood and reduce anxiety.

Clinical trials[edit | edit source]

MIN-117 has been studied in several clinical trials for its potential use in the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. The results of these trials have been promising, but further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Potential uses[edit | edit source]

If approved, MIN-117 could be used to treat a variety of mental health disorders, including major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. It could also potentially be used to treat other conditions that are associated with low levels of serotonin and dopamine, such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
