Norfluoxetine HCl (57226-68-3) is a metabolite of fluoxetine.3 Induces long QT syndrome via slow delayed rectifier potassium current block.1 Time dependent inhibitor of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4.2   The S-isomer of desmethylfluoxetine is the active N-demethylated metabolite responsible for the persistently potent and selective inhibition of serotonin uptake in vivo.3 Potent inhibitor of coxsackievirus replication acting via inhibition of viral RNA synthesis.4 State-dependent TREK-2 blocker.5
