Description

Flucindole is a diagnostic agent that can be used to diagnose psychiatric patients. Flucindole is an antagonist at the serotonin transporter gene and has been shown to be effective in treating depression. Flucindole is a n-oxide of fluoxetine, which is an antidepressant drug. Flucindole also inhibits fatty acid synthase, which synthesizes fatty acids from acetyl-CoA. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to a decrease in the production of fatty acids and results in weight loss for obese patients.
