Binedaline (also called binodaline or binedaline hydrochloride;[1]) is a drug that was investigated as an antidepressant in the 1980s but was never marketed.[2][3] It acts as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (Ki = 25 nM), with relatively insignificant influence on the serotonin (Ki = 847 nM) and dopamine (Ki >= 2 μM) transporters.[4] It has negligible affinity for the α-adrenergic, mACh, H1, or 5-HT2 receptors.[4]
