Amitriptyline, sold under the brand ... Amitriptyline is a non-selective blocker of multiple ion channels, in particular, voltage-gated sodium channels Na v 1.3, Na v ...
DPH-362 is a simplified amitriptyline analog created by omission of the two-carbon dibenzosuberane bridge (the seven membered ring). The resulting compound still had activity in a test to explore TCA sodium channel blockers with analgesic properties.
The TCAs such as imipramine and amitriptyline typically prevent the reuptake of serotonin or norepinephine. It is the histaminiergic (H 1), muscarinic acetylcholinergic (M 1), and alpha adrenergic (α 1) blockade that is responsible for the side-effects of TCAs. These include somnolence and lethargy, anticholinergic side-effects, and hypotension.
This is because lidocaine selectively blocks Na channels in their open and inactive states and has little binding capability in the resting state. Class Ib agents are indicated for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia and symptomatic premature ventricular beats, and prevention of ventricular fibrillation.
They showed that "In terms of efficacy, all antidepressants were more effective than placebo, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging between 2.13 (95% credible interval [CrI] 1.89–2.41) for amitriptyline and 1.37 (1.16–1.63) for reboxetine." [16] The odds ratios were specifically in terms of response rates (≥50% reduction in observer-rated ...
Amitriptylinoxide (brand names Amioxid, Ambivalon, Equilibrin), or amitriptyline N-oxide, is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) which was introduced in Europe in the 1970s for the treatment of depression. [1] Amitriptylinoxide is both an analogue and metabolite of amitriptyline, and has similar effects as well as equivalent efficacy as an ...
