Metabolite Identification
Common NameEscitalopram
DescriptionEscitalopram, also known as esertia or cipralex, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylbutylamines. Phenylbutylamines are compounds containing a phenylbutylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the fourth carbon by an butan-1-amine. Escitalopram is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Escitalopram is a potentially toxic compound.
