This compound, the oxalate salt of (S)-N,N-Dimethyl-3-(naphthalen-1-yloxy)-3-(thiophen-2-yl)propan-1-amine, serves as a research tool in medicinal chemistry. It functions as an analog of duloxetine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), and is used in the study and development of pharmaceutical agents targeting the central nervous system. Such research focuses on its potential applications in treating psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, and related mood disorders. Its unique structure facilitates investigations into neurotransmitter reuptake mechanisms, supporting the creation of more targeted CNS therapeutics. Note that this compound is primarily for experimental use and not approved for clinical treatment.
