N-Methyl-PPPA

N-Methyl-PPPA, or N-methyl-3-phenoxy-3-phenylpropan-1-amine, is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) which was developed by Eli Lilly from diphenhydramine in the early 1970s while in search of new antidepressants, but was never marketed.[1][2][3] It is closely related structurally to fluoxetine, atomoxetine, and nisoxetine.[1][2][3]
