Viloxazine Atomoxetine Reboxetine
[3H]-NE uptake 2300a 3.4b 8.2c
[3H]-5-HT uptake >10,000a 390b 1070c
[3H]-DA uptake NCa 1750b NCc
NET binding 155d 2d–5e 1.1e–11f
SERT binding 17,300d 9d–77e 129e–440f
DAT binding >100,000d 1080d–1451e >10,000f
KD (SERT)/KD (NET) 111 4
Ki (SERT)/Ki (NET) 15 40–117

Notes: All values in 10−9 M. aKi calculated from rat hypothalamic synaptosomes uptake assay. bKi calculated from rat cerebral cortex synaptosomes uptake assay. cKi calculated from rat striatal synaptosomes uptake assay. dKD calculated from competition assays using [3H]-nisoxetine for hNET, [3H]-imipramine for hSERT, and [3H]-WIN35428 for hDAT. eKi calculated using specific radiolabeled ligands, [3H]-nisoxetine for NET, [3H]-paroxetine for SERT, and [3H]-WIN35428 for DAT. fKi calculated using specific radiolabeled ligands, [3H]-nisoxetine for NE, [3H]-citalopram for 5-HT, and [3H]-WIN35428 for DA uptake sites. Data from these studies.1518

Abbreviations: 5-HT, serotonin; DA, dopamine; DAT, dopamine transporter; KD, dissociation constant; Ki, inhibition constant; NC, not calculated; NE, norepinephrine; NET, norepinephrine transporter; SERT, serotonin transporter.
