Toludesvenlafaxine, also formerly known as ansofaxine and sold under the brand name Ruoxinlin, is an antidepressant which is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder in China.^[1] It is also under development for use in other countries like the United States.^[1] It is a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI) and was developed by Luye Pharma Group.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Toludesvenlafaxine is described as an SNDRI and prodrug to desvenlafaxine.^[2] However, unlike desvenlafaxine, which has in vitro IC₅₀Tooltip half-maximal inhibitory concentration values of 53 nM and 538 nM for inhibition of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, respectively, toludesvenlafaxine has respective in vitro IC₅₀ values of 723 nM, 763 nM, and 491 nM for serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine reuptake inhibition.^[2] As such, toludesvenlafaxine appears to be a more balanced reuptake inhibitor of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine than desvenlafaxine.^[2]

As of July 2018, toludesvenlafaxine is in preregistration for the treatment of depression in the United States, the European Union, and Japan.^[1] As of January 2023, it is also in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.^[1] In March 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration accepted Luye Pharma's New Drug Application for toludesvenlafaxine, which remains under review.^[1]^[5] In November 2022, toludesvenlafaxine was approved for the treatment of depression in China under the brand name Ruoxinlin.^[6]^[7]
