IA = Inactive at 10 µM in agonist screen.

NR = Not reported in TiHKAL.

ND = Not determined.

a

Release EC50 values are reported as means ± SD and are the result of N= 3 performed in triplicate.

b

Calcium mobilization EC50 and Emax values are reported as means ± SEM and are the result of three independent experiments performed in duplicate.

c

β-arrestin recruitment EC50 and Emax values are reported as means ± SEM and are the result of three independent experiments performed in duplicate.

d

IC50 for uptake inhibition.

e

Tabulated from anecdotal reports in TiHKAL.

f

Single determination.

g

This compound is referred to as “NET” in TiHKAL but was altered to avoid confusion with the norepinephrine transporter.
