Description

4-FLUOROCOCAINE

4-Fluorococaine is a tropane derivative drug which is a synthetic analogue of cocaine. Unlike related compounds such as the corresponding 4′-fluorophenyltropane derivative CFT and the 2′-hydroxy analogue salicylmethylecgonine, 4′-fluorococaine has only around the same potency as cocaine as an inhibitor of dopamine reuptake, but conversely it is a much stronger serotonin reuptake inhibitor than cocaine, resulting in a significantly altered pharmacological profile in animal studies.

It inhibits a reuptake of dopamine, but is a much stronger serotonin reuptake inhibitor. This has lead to various results in animal studies. 4Fluorococaine has the same potential as cocaine, but may be much more powerful as a result of the stronger reuptake of serotonin. 4Fluorococaine can therefor not be compared to CFT or 2′-hydroxy analogue salicylmethylecgonine
