desipramine and Alcohol Drinking

desipramine has been researched along with Alcohol Drinking in 19 studies

Desipramine: A tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. This compound also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.
desipramine : A dibenzoazepine consisting of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted on nitrogen with a 3-(methylamino)propyl group.

Alcohol Drinking: Behaviors associated with the ingesting of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, including social drinking.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The current study assessed whether paliperidone, a dopamine D2 receptor and adrenergic alpha-2 receptor antagonist like clozapine, would attenuate alcohol drinking in the alcohol-preferring P rat and the Syrian golden hamster, and whether desipramine, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, would potentiate the ability of paliperidone to attenuate alcohol drinking in the P rat and the Syrian golden hamster."7.81Desipramine enhances the ability of paliperidone to decrease alcohol drinking. ( Chau, DT; Dawson, R; Green, AI; Gulick, D; Khokhar, JY, 2015)
" To create a safer clozapine-like drug, we tested whether the antipsychotic iloperidone, a drug that combines a weak dopamine D2 receptor blockade and a potent norepinephrine alpha-2 receptor blockade would reduce alcohol drinking, and whether its effect on alcohol drinking could be increased if combined with an agent to facilitate norepinephrine activity."5.43Effects of iloperidone, combined with desipramine, on alcohol drinking in the Syrian golden hamster. ( Green, AI; Khokhar, JY, 2016)
"Desipramine pretreatment reduced the time spent immobile in rats of the 2 alcohol-nonpreferring lines (i."5.30Comparison of rats selectively bred for high and low ethanol intake in a forced-swim-test model of depression: effects of desipramine. ( Froehlich, JC; Godfrey, CD; Li, TK; Murphy, JM; Stewart, RB, 1997)
"We recreated a clozapine-like drug to reduce alcohol drinking in the Syrian golden hamster by combining low dose haloperidol with a norepinephrine α-2 receptor antagonist, idazoxan, and a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, desipramine."3.81Clozapine reconstructed: Haloperidol's ability to reduce alcohol intake in the Syrian golden hamster can be enhanced through noradrenergic modulation by desipramine and idazoxan. ( Chau, DT; Dawson, R; Green, AI; Khokhar, JY, 2015)

"The atypical antipsychotic clozapine reduces alcohol drinking in patients with schizophrenia."3.80Desipramine enhances the ability of risperidone to decrease alcohol intake in the Syrian golden hamster. ( Chau, DT; Dawson, R; Green, AI; Gulick, D; Khokhar, JY, 2014)

( Green, AI; Khokhar, JY, 2016)
"Desipramine treatment appeared to result in decreases in alcohol consumption in nonalcoholic patients with depression."1.32Depressive symptoms and alcohol consumption among nonalcoholic depression patients treated with desipramine. ( Bagby, RM; Goldstein, BI; Joffe, RT; Levitt, A; Schaffer, A; Wesson, V; Zaretsky, A, 2004)

( Froehlich, JC; Godfrey, CD; Li, TK; Murphy, JM; Stewart, RB, 1997)
" Chronic administration of desipramine may have therapeutic efficacy in treating cocaine abuse only in subjects attempting to refrain from cocaine who are aided in their passage through a withdrawal phase by desipramine."1.28Schedule-induced oral self-administration of cocaine and ethanol solutions: lack of effect of chronic desipramine.
