Product Description
Information
Dapoxetine HCl Dapoxetine HCl (LY-210448) is a short-acting novel selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, used for the treatment of premature ejaculation. In vitro
Dapoxetine not only reduces the peak amplitude of Kv4.3 currents but also accelerates the decay rate of current inactivation in a concentration-dependent manner. Dapoxetine decreases the integral of the Kv4.3 currents over the duration of a depolarizing pulse with an IC50 of 5.3 μM. Dapoxetine also causes a substantial acceleration in closed-state inactivation. Dapoxetine produces a significant use-dependent block, which is accompanied by a delayed recovery from inactivation of Kv4.3 currents. Dapoxetine decreases the peak amplitude of Kv1.5 currents and accelerates the decay rate of current inactivation in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 11.6 μM. Dapoxetine decreases the tail current amplitude and slows the deactivation process of Kv1.5, which results in a tail crossover phenomenon. Dapoxetine produces a use-dependent block of Kv1.5 at frequencies of 1 and 2 Hz and slowed the time course for recovery of inactivation. Dapoxetine also appears to be a useful adjunct to morphine, lowering the threshold for analgesia, although Dapoxetine itself has negligible analgesic activity. Dapoxetine is the D-enantiomer of LY 243917 and is 3.5 times more potent as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor than the L-enantiomer.
