CAS 93413-62-8: Desvenlafaxine
Description:Desvenlafaxine, with the CAS number 93413-62-8, is a synthetic antidepressant belonging to the class of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). It is primarily used in the treatment of major depressive disorder. The chemical structure of desvenlafaxine features a phenethylamine backbone, which contributes to its pharmacological activity. It is typically administered in the form of its succinate salt, enhancing its solubility and bioavailability. Desvenlafaxine works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, thereby increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters and improving mood. The substance is characterized by its moderate lipophilicity, which influences its absorption and distribution in the body. Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, and increased blood pressure, necessitating monitoring during treatment. Desvenlafaxine is metabolized primarily in the liver, and its elimination half-life allows for once-daily dosing, making it a convenient option for patients. Overall, desvenlafaxine is an important therapeutic agent in the management of depression, with a well-established efficacy profile.
