Background

Vanoxerine is a highly selective dopamine transporter antagonist. It was synthesized in the late 1970s and developed as a potential treatment for depression. Vanoxerine was later evaluated as a potential treatment for cocaine addiction due to its ability to block dopamine reuptake with a slower dissociation rate than cocaine. Although several studies have suggested that the profile of vanoxerine is safer than that of cocaine, other studies have found that vanoxerine has at least moderate potential to be abused by humans. More recently, vanoxerine was tested as a potential anti-arrhythmic and anti-atrial fibrillatory agent due to its ability to block the hKV11.1 (hERG) cardiac potassium channel. Vanoxerine is an investigational drug and has not been approved for therapeutic use.
