Trimipramine
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Trimipramine is a 5-HT receptor antagonist, with pKi binding values of 6.39, 8.10, 4.66 for 5-HT1C, 5-HT2 and 5-HT1A, respectively. Trimipramine is also a potent and selective inhibitor targeting human noradrenaline (hNAT), serotonin (hSERT) and organic cation transporters (hOCT1, hOCT2) with IC50 values of 4.99 μM, 2.11 μM, 3.72 μM, 8.00 μM, respectively. Trimipramine has vascular activity and anxiolytic efficacy.

Trimipramine displays much higher affinity for 5-HT2 than for 5-HT1C receptors[1].
Trimipramine is a moderate inhibitor of the human NAT and SERT, with the IC50 values of 4.99 μM and 2.11 μM, respectively[2].
SERT and NAT could represent a target for the antidepressant effects of trimipramine (1 mM, 0.1 mM, 0.01 mM, 1 μM, 0.1 μM; 10 min; HEK293 cells)[2].

Animal Model:Male Wistar rats (220-250 g); implanted osmotic minipump subcutaneously in the dorsal thoracic interscapular region[3]
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg/day
-
Administration:Delivered by smotic minipump; 14 days
-
Result:Decreased the number of frontal cortex 5-HT2 and striatal DA D2 receptors, thus blocked the uptake of 5-HT and dopamine (DA).
