NCIt definition : The succinate salt form of desvenlafaxine, a synthetic phenethylamine bicyclic derivative
with antidepressant activity. Desvenlafaxine is a selective reuptake inhibitor of
serotonin and norepinephrine due to its high binding affinities to the pre-synaptic
serotonin and norepinephrine transporters. By blocking both transporters, this agent
prolongs neurotransmitter activities of both serotonin and norepinephrine, thereby
alleviating depressive state.;
