It is one of impurity present in EsCitalopram, Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which enhances serotonergic activity by binding to the orthosteric binding site on the serotonin transporter, the same site to which endogenous 5-HT binds and thus prevents the reuptake of serotonin into the presynaptic neuron. It binds to a secondary allosteric site on the SERT molecule to inhibit 5-HT reuptake more. sustained elevation of synaptic 5HT eventually causes desensitization of 5-HT1A auto-receptors, which normally endogenous 5-HT release in the presence of excess 5-HT, this desensitization is needed for the clinical effect of SSRIs and is responsible for their typically prolonged onset of action
