The present invention relates to a non-radioactive, heavy-atom
isotopologue of Compound 1 containing one or more deuterium in place of a
hydrogen covalently bound to carbon. The Compound 1 isotopologues of the
invention are inhibitors of norepinephrine uptake and possess unique
biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties compared to the
corresponding non-isotope containing compounds. They may also be used to
accurately determine the concentration of Compound 1 in biological
fluids. The invention further provides compositions comprising these
heavy-atom Compound 1 isotopologue and methods of treating diseases and
conditions linked to reduced neurotransmission of norepinephrine.
