PPPA, or 3-phenoxy-3-phenylpropan-1-amine, is a drug which is described as an antidepressant.[1] It was derived by Eli Lilly from the antihistamine diphenhydramine, a diphenylmethane derivative with additional properties as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), and has been the basis for the subsequent discovery of a number of other antidepressant drugs.[2][3][4]
List of PPPA derivatives
[edit]- Atomoxetine ((3R)-N-methyl-3-(2-methylphenoxy)-3-phenylpropan-1-amine) — NRI[1]
- Fluoxetine (N-methyl-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-3-phenylpropan-1-amine) — SSRI[2]
- N-Methyl-PPPA (N-methyl-3-phenoxy-3-phenylpropan-1-amine) — SNRI[2][4]
- Nisoxetine (N-methyl-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-3-phenylpropan-1-amine) — NRI[1]
- Norfluoxetine (3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-3-phenylpropan-1-amine) — SSRI[3]
- Seproxetine ((S)-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-3-phenylpropan-1-amine) — SSRI[5]
Structurally related drugs include dapoxetine, duloxetine, edivoxetine, femoxetine, paroxetine, reboxetine, and viloxazine, all of which act, similarly, as monoamine reuptake inhibitors, and most of which are, again similarly, antidepressants.[1][3]
Zimelidine is an antidepressant and SSRI which was derived from the antihistamine pheniramine, which, similarly to its analogues brompheniramine and chlorpheniramine, possesses SNRI properties.[4] Fluvoxamine, another antidepressant and SSRI, was developed from the antihistamine tripelennamine, which possesses SNDRI actions.[6]
