Pirlindole hydrochloride
Pirlindole (Pyrazidole; Pirazidole) hydrochloride is an orally active, selective, reversible, blood-brain barrier-permeable MAO-A inhibitor with weak inhibitory effects on norepinephrine transporters and serotonin transporters. Pirlindole hydrochloride secondarily inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin to elevate central neurotransmitter levels, thereby producing antidepressant effects, and also exhibits multiple activities including anticonvulsant, analgesic, local anesthetic, blood pressure-regulating, and platelet aggregation-inhibiting properties. Pirlindole hydrochloride is widely applicable to research on major depressive disorder and related depressive conditions.

Actividad biológica
|
MAO-A |
Pirlindole (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 5 days) reverses hypoactive self-stimulation behavior in rats with internal capsule lesions, indicating antidepressant-like activity[2].
Pirlindole (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7-14 days) improves escape/avoidance learning deficits in mice exposed to in vivo inescapable electric shock, demonstrating antidepressant-like activity[2].
Pirlindole (1-50 mg/kg; i.p., p.o.) antagonizes Reserpine (HY-N0480)- and Tetrabenazine (HY-B0590)-induced behavioral deficits in mice and rats, with ED50 values of 13.66 mg/kg i.p. and 13.39 mg/kg i.p. for respective effects in rats[2].
Pirlindole (up to 25 mg/kg; i.p., s.c., p.o.) does not antagonize Apomorphine (HY-12723)-induced hypothermia in mice[2].
Pirlindole (11.4-20 mg/kg; i.p.) potentiates 5-hydroxytryptophan-induced head twitches in mice with an ED50 of 11.4-20 mg/kg i.p[2].
Pirlindole potentiates tryptamine-induced clonic seizures in rats with an ED50 of 11.07 mg/kg i.p. or 25 mg/kg p.o[2].
Pirlindole (up to 50 mg/kg; p.o., s.c., i.p.) does not antagonize Oxotremorine (HY-170032)-induced hypothermia or tremors in mice at tested doses[2].
Pirlindole (0.01-1.00 mg/kg; i.v.) does not reinforce intravenous self-administration in Rhesus monkeys, indicating low addiction risk[2].
Pirlindole (1 mg/kg/min; i.v.; 10 minutes) does not alter the firing rate of central noradrenergic or serotonergic neurons in rats[2].
Pirlindole (5 mg/kg; p.o.) induces EEG activation in squirrel monkeys, and at 10 mg/kg i.v. modulates clonidine-induced EEG effects in rabbits[2].
Pirlindole (10-150 mg/kg; i.p.) produces selective, reversible inhibition of MAO-A in rats, with an ED50 of 21 mg/kg i.p., and minimal MAO-B inhibition[2].
Pirlindole (15-30 mg/kg; i.p.) protects mice against Picrotoxin (HY-101391)-induced tonic spasms, has analgesic effects in mice and rats at 10-30 mg/kg i.p., and acts as a local anesthetic in guinea pigs at a 0.3% solution, while high doses (up to 324 mg/kg i.p.) cause nervous system disturbances in mice[2].
