Eclanamine
Eclanamine is an orally effective non-tricyclic antidepressant and an adrenergic receptor modulator. Eclanamine blocks biogenic amine uptake and enhances α2-receptor sensitivity, and long-term administration induces downregulation and desensitization of cortical β-receptors. Eclanamine is used in the study of depression.

In Vitro
Eclanamine weakly inhibits the binding of (3H)-dihydroalpranolol (DHA) in rat brain cortex tissue homogenates (inhibition rate below 50%)[3].
Eclanamine induces gene mutations in CHO/HPRT and AS52 cells[2].

In Vivo
Eclanamine (1-30 mg/kg/day; i.v.; continuous infusion; treatment duration of 8 to 168 h) dose-dependently downregulates cerebral cortical β-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) density in female Sprague-Dawley rats[3].

-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley rats (female, 280-320 g)[3]
-
Dosage:1, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg/day
-
Administration:i.v.; continuous infusion; 24 h
-
Result:Dose-dependently reduced the density of beta-adrenergic receptors (Bmax) in the cerebral cortex with a significant dose-response relationship.
The minimum effective dose that significantly down-regulated beta-AR at 24 hours was 3.0 mg/kg/day.
-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley rats (female)[3]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg/day
-
Administration:i.v.; continuous infusion; 8, 16, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hours
-
Result:Resulted in a significant reduction in the number of beta-AR at 16 and 24 hours.
The peak effect was observed at 72 hours, at which time it produced a similar degree of down-regulation to imipramine.
