Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖View more information in the IUPHAR Pharmacology Education Project: lofepramine |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects |
Lofepramine acts as a norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor [2], with little anticholinergic activity at muscarinic receptors [1]. Lofepramine is extensively metabolized to the active metabolite, desipramine, which also acts as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (with low efficacy serotonin transporter inhibition). |
