DOV 216,303 is an antidepressant drug originally developed by DOV Pharmaceutical and now licensed to the larger pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., which is currently in clinical trials.[1] It is a so-called triple reuptake inhibitor (TRI), or serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI).[1][2] It is the racemic mixture of amitifadine (DOV-21,947) and its (–)-enantiomer, DOV-102,677. Its IC50 values for SERT, NET, and DAT are Ki 14 nM, 20 nM, and 78 nM, respectively.[2] All DOV compounds are being developed in collaboration with Merck.

The effects are not long-lasting.

More recently (see attachment), it appears that the DOV compound may also be useful at increasing weight loss.
