Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Based on the evidence that fenfluramine-induced anorexia, weight loss, and cardiovascular toxicity are primarily mediated by the d-enantiomers of fenfluramine and its metabolite norfenfluramine, we investigated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic correlations for the active enantiomers of fenfluramine and norfenfluramine in the rat maximal electroshock seizure (MES) test. This is part of a series of studies aimed at optimizing selection of an enantiomerically pure compound for development as a safer alternative to racemic fenfluramine.
