N-(1,2-diphenylethyl)piperazines: a new class of dual serotonin/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Aug 15;16(16):4345-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.05.051. Epub 2006 Jun 5.

Abstract

The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a novel series of piperazine derivatives as dual inhibitors of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake is described. Two compounds possessed comparable in vitro profiles to the dual reuptake inhibitor duloxetine.
