"Sepracor's (R)-sibutramine metabolite is an isomer of an active metabolite of Abbott's MERIDIA®. The (R)-sibutramine metabolite has been shown in preclinical studies to be a potent norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The compound's unique triple mechanism of action may provide a broader spectrum of therapy than other currently marketed antidepressants. Physicians often prescribe various combinations of drugs to achieve similar outcomes, indicating a need for this potential therapeutic synergy.
The (R)-sibutramine metabolite development program for refractory depression is on budgetary hold due to resource constraints."
