SePP is a compound derived from the dissociative anesthetic diphenidine but containing an unusual selenophene ring, which shows both NMDA antagonist effects and with weaker activity as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and has been researched as a potential treatment agent for Fragile X syndrome.[1]
