Tesofensine (NS-2330) is a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor inducing a potent inhibition of the re-uptake process in the synaptic cleft of the neurotransmitters dopamine (DA; IC50=6.5 nM), norepinephrine (NE;IC50=1.7 nM), and serotonin (5-HT;IC50=11 nM), and with potentials as an anti-obesity agent[1]. Tesofensine is a CNS acting anti-obesity agent[2].
Tesofensine (a single dose of 0.1-3 mg/kg, s.c.) induces hypophagia in the DIO rat. A single dose of Tesofensine (0. 1-3 mg/kg, s.c.) robustly and dose dependently inhibits food intake in DIO rats over the 12 h nocturnal observation period. Daily administration of a moderate dose of Tesofensine (2.0 mg/kg, s.c.) over 16 days triggers a significant reduction in body weight after 4 days of administration relative to vehicle-treated controls[3].
