Manifaxine

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Manifaxine is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that was under development for the treatment of depression and fatigue, but was discontinued. It was developed by GlaxoSmithKline.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Manifaxine acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). It inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, thereby increasing their concentrations in the brain. This results in increased neurotransmission, which can help to alleviate symptoms of depression and fatigue.

Development and Discontinuation[edit | edit source]

Manifaxine was developed by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of depression and fatigue. However, the development of the drug was discontinued for unknown reasons. It is not currently available for medical use.
