Diclofensine (Ro 8-4650) was developed by Hoffmann-La Roche in the 1970s[1] in the search for a new antidepressant. It was found that the (S)-isomer was responsible for activity.[2] Is a stimulant drug which acts as a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor,[3][4] primarily inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine[5] and norepinephrine,[6] with affinities (Ki) of 16.8 nM, 15.7 nM, and 51 nM for DAT, NET, and SERT (dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin transporters), respectively.[7] It was found to be an effective antidepressant in human trials,[8][9][10] with relatively few side effects,[11] but was ultimately dropped from clinical development, possibly due to concerns about its abuse potential.[12][13]

Diclofensine is chemically a tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) derivative, as is nomifensine.
