Citalopram

An SSRI antidepressant (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) synthesised in Denmark in 1972 by chemist Klaus Bøgesø; on the market since the late 1980s, it is used for depression and panic disorder. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?It was born by retouching talopram, a molecule acting on noradrenaline: with a few changes Bøgesø turned it into one of the most selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ever to reach the market.
