The present invention relates to an isotopologue of Compound 1 substituted
with deuterium at the methylene carbon of the benzodioxol ring. The
isotopologues of this invention selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(SSRIs) and possess unique biopharmaceutical and metabolic properties
compared to Compound 1. They may also be used to accurately determine the
concentration of Compound 1 in biological fluids and to determine
metabolic patterns of Compound 1 and its isotopologues. The invention
further provides compositions comprising these deuterated isotopologues
and methods of treating diseases and conditions that are responsive to
increased neuronal serotonin transmission, alone and in combination with
additional agents.
