Zimelidine
Zimelidine is an orally active selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Zimelidine competitively inhibits central 5-HT uptake and desensitizes 5-HT autoreceptors in dorsal raphe nucleus. Zimelidine time-dependently modulates 5-HT neuronal firing and hippocampal CA3 responses. Zimelidine strengthens central serotonergic neurotransmission and produces related behavioral changes. Zimelidine exerts anxiolytic, analgesic, feeding-suppressive and tolerance-attenuating effects. Zimelidine is used for the study of depressive disorders and analgesic tolerance.

Activité biologique
Zimelidine potently and selectively inhibits serotonin uptake in rat hypothalamic synaptosomes, mouse cerebral cortical slices, and mouse striatal slices, with IC50 values of 0.33 μmol/L, 3.3 μmol/L, and 9.1 μmol/L respectively, and shows far weaker inhibition of noradrenaline and dopamine uptake[2].
Zimelidine inhibits serotonin uptake into human platelets in vitro with an IC50 of 2.6 μmol/L[2].
Zimelidine has low affinity for postsynaptic serotonin, α-noradrenergic, β-noradrenergic, and dopamine receptors in vitro[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Zimelidine (5 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 2-14 days) causes an initial reduction in 5-HT neuron activity followed by gradual restoration of normal activity and desensitization of 5-HT autoreceptors after 14 days of treatment[1].
Zimelidine (i.p.) inhibits H75/12- and PCA-induced 5-HT depletion in rat brain with ED50 values of 4 mg/kg (H75/12) and 1.5 mg/kg (PCA)[1].
Zimelidine (i.p.; p.o.) potentiates 5-HTP-induced head twitches in mice, with an ED50 of 3.2 μmol/kg (p.o.) and 8.6 μmol/kg (i.p.)[2].
Zimelidine reduces serotonin's inhibitory effects on visual cortex responses in rabbits following chronic treatment[2].
Zimelidine (15 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) significantly attenuates the development of induced antinociceptive tolerance in rats[3].
Zimelidine (0.2-20 nmol/100 nL; bilateral medial amygdaloid nucleus microinjection; single dose) administered via bilateral MeA microinjection produces a dose-dependent hypophagic effect in fasted male Wistar rats[4].
Zimelidine (2 nmol/100 nL; bilateral medial amygdaloid nucleus microinjection; single dose; administered 15 minutes after SB-242084 (HY-13409) or vehicle pretreatment) (2 nmol via bilateral MeA microinjection) in fasted male Wistar rats is mediated by MeA 5-HT2C receptors[4].
Zimelidine (20 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose; administered 15 minutes after SB-242084 or vehicle pretreatment) in fasted male Wistar rats is mediated by MeA 5-HT2C receptors[4].
Zimelidine (2 nmol/100 nL; bilateral medial amygdaloid nucleus microinjection; single dose; administered 15 minutes after WAY-100635 (HY-10349) or vehicle pretreatment) (2 nmol via bilateral MeA microinjection) in fasted male Wistar rats is not mediated by MeA 5-HT1A receptors[4].
Zimelidine (2 nmol/100 nL; bilateral medial amygdaloid nucleus microinjection; single dose; administered 15 minutes after SB-216641 or vehicle pretreatment) (2 nmol via bilateral MeA microinjection) in fasted male Wistar rats is not mediated by MeA 5-HT1B receptors[4].

Animal Model:Male Wistar albino rats (160-180 g, n=72)[3]
-
Dosage:15 mg/kg
-
Administration:IP, once
-
Result:Significantly attenuated the development and expression of morphine tolerance. The maximal antinociceptive effect of Zimelidine was obtained at the 60 minutes measurements in the zimelidine group and at the 30 minutes measurements in the morphine tolerant group by the tail-flick and hot-plate tests. Administration of zimelidine with morphine showed additive analgesic effect.

-
Administration:IP, daily for 14 days
-
Result:Did not modify the responsiveness of CA3 hippocampal pyramidal neurons to microiontophoreticahy applied 5-HT.
