Product Information
| Description: | (+)-Norfenfluramine is the major hepatic metabolite of (+)-fenfluramine and is primarily responsible for the anorexic effect, as well as side effects; (+)-norfenfluramine causes vasoconstriction and a blood pressure increase in rats with normal blood; acts primarily on the cytoplasmic pool of serotonin; more potent than fenfluramine at inducing dopamine release. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
