Imipramine N-oxide is the tertiary amine-oxidized form and a natural metabolite of the tricyclic serotonin/dopamine transport inhibitor Imipramine (sc-207753). FMO (Flavin-containing monooxygenase) enzymes are responsible for the oxidation of nucleophilic heteroatoms such as the tertiary amine of Imipramine, utilizing the bound cofactor flavin for redox coupling. Imipramine N-oxide can be used as a standard for investigating the presence and activity of FMO enzymes in relation to the FMO-mediated oxidation of Imipramine. Imipramine N-oxide is a substrate of FMO.
