PRX-14040 is a selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor that was developed by Prexa Pharmaceuticals.[1][2][3] It has 28-fold selectivity for the dopamine transporter over the norepinephrine transporter.[2] Similarly to various other dopamine reuptake inhibitors, the drug has been found to reverse motivational deficits induced by the dopamine depleting agent tetrabenazine in animals.[1][2]
