  Reboxetine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reboxetine is an antidepressant drug used in the treatment of clinical depression, panic disorder and ADD/ADHD.
Both the (R,R)-(-) and (S,S)-(+)-enantiomers of reboxetine are predominantly metabolized by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme.
According to Weiss et al, reboxetine is an intermediate-level inhibitor of P-glycoprotein, which gives it the potential to interact with ciclosporin, tacrolimus, paroxetine, sertraline, quinidine, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine.

Reboxetine is indicated in the acute treatment of depression/major depression and for maintaining the clinical improvement in patients initially responding to treatment.
As Reboxetine has not been tested in patients with convulsive disorders in clinical studies and since rare cases of seizures have been reported in clinical studies, it should be given under close supervision to subjects with a history of convulsive disorders and it must be discontinued if the patient develops seizures.
In vitro studies on metabolism indicate that Reboxetine is metabolised primarily by the isoenzyme CYP3A4 of cytochrome P450; Reboxetine is not metabolised by CYP2D6.

Reboxetine is a novel, selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) that provides a new therapeutic alternative and, perhaps, advance for the treatment of depression.
Therefore, while an overdose of reboxetine or an SSRI alone may not result in severe toxicity, the combination may. In general, since reboxetine does not itself potentiate serotonin neurotransmission, it is not expected to precipitate the serotonin syndrome when combined with agents that increase CNS serotonin levels.
Reboxetine is primarily metabolized by CYP 3A4 and its clearance may be significantly increased and decreased by inducers and inhibitors of this enzyme, respectively.

Reboxetine, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval, is equal to or better than Prozac for some forms of depression, researchers reported at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Washington.
Reboxetine is the first of the new class of norepinephrine drugs believed to be far safer than the older drugs.
"Reboxetine is more effective that fluoxetine (Prozac) in improving social functioning in depressed patients and produces a better quality of remission," said Dr. Hans-Jurgen Moller of the department of psychiatry at the University of Munich.

 Effects of the Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor Reboxetine on Norepinephrine and Serotonin Transmission in ...
The net effect of long-term reboxetine treatment on 5-HT transmission was determined by stimulating the ascending 5-HT pathway at a frequency (1 Hz) similar to the spontaneous firing rate of 5-HT neurons (Vandermaelen and Aghajanian 1983).
In contrast, reboxetine injections did not alter this parameter for 5-HT applications on the same neurons, demonstrating that acute injections of reboxetine do not impact upon the function of the 5-HT transporter in this postsynaptic structure when the effect of NE is prolonged more than 2-fold (Figures 1 and 3).
Since both the acute and long-term administration of reboxetine produced the same degree of enhancement of NE in the extracellular milieu in the same experiments in the hippocampus, the relationship between the delayed clinical response to reboxetine with respect to hippocampal function is not clear.

Considering the comparative trials with reboxetine conducted in Europe (in which it is referred to as an NARI or noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor), it may well be promoted as superior for particular outcomes and for specific populations of patients with depression.
In addition to the studies demonstrating that reboxetine antidepressant efficacy is superior to placebo and comparable to a TCA, a head-to-head and a placebo-controlled study were conducted to compare reboxetine to fluoxetine.
Reboxetine's superiority was vigorously debated (Sackeim, 1996), however, as have the reasons for disparate findings between antidepressant trials conducted in Europe and in the United States (Ackenheil et al., 1996).

There have been a few studies on the efficacy and safety of reboxetine on geriatric depression.The first was an open-label study in 1999, followed by a double-blind comparison with imipramine and a long-term continuation study conducted in individuals who had responded acutely to reboxetine for major depression.
According to Dr. Borson, reboxetine is as effective an antidepressant in terms of responders, clinical global improvement and remission as the old standards, such as imipramine.
In comparison with imipramine in a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial, there were fewer dropouts with reboxetine than with imipramine.
