amitriptyline and Glioma

amitriptyline has been researched along with Glioma in 4 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

Glioma: Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.

"In the present study, we investigated the effects of chronic in vitro administration of amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, on cyclic GMP formation stimulated by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell line, NG 108-15, 5-HT (0."3.69Chronic amitriptyline exposure reduces 5-HT3 receptor-mediated cyclic GMP formation in NG 108-15 cells.
