Product Information

• Name: 5-Iodoquinoline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Iodoquinoline is a serotonin transporter inhibitor that has been shown to have antidepressant properties. The compound competes with serotonin for transport and prevents it from binding to the receptor, which leads to an increase in extracellular serotonin. This active form has been synthesized by the reaction of 5-iodotriphenylenes with cyclobutanones. The pharmacological activity of 5-iodoquinoline was studied in vivo and proved that this drug may be useful for the treatment of depression.
