Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
3-Chloropropiophenone is a chiral compound that is used as an antidepressant drug. It was first synthesized in the 1950s and has been studied extensively for its pharmacological effects. It is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, one of which is active and the other inactive. The active enantiomer binds to serotonin receptors and inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, which leads to an increase in serotonin levels. The inactive enantiomer does not bind to serotonin receptors and does not inhibit the reuptake of serotonin. 3-Chloropropiophenone has been shown to be effective when administered at an optimum concentration of 5 milligrams per kilogram body weight. | [Chemical Properties]
