desipramine and Mood Disorders

desipramine has been researched along with Mood Disorders in 11 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.

Mood Disorders: Those disorders that have a disturbance in mood as their predominant feature.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Patients with neuropathic pain often experience depression and anxiety both of which are known to be temporally correlated with noradrenergic dysfunction in the locus coeruleus (LC) as pain becomes chronic."1.48The onset of treatment with the antidepressant desipramine is critical for the emotional consequences of neuropathic pain. ( Alba-Delgado, C; Berrocoso, E; Llorca-Torralba, M; Mico, JA, 2018)
"Tranylcypromine was effective in the treatment of 14 patients meeting both the National Institute of Mental Health and DSM-III-R criteria for winter depression."1.28Pharmacological responsiveness of winter depression. ( Del Medico, VJ; Dilsaver, SC; Jaeckle, S; Quadri, A, 1990)
"Treatment with desipramine in vivo (10 mg/kg body weight/day) caused a down-regulation of 3H-enkephalinamide binding in the basal ganglia and the hippocampus, while no effects could be observed in the cerebral cortex and the rest of the forebrain."1.27Opioid peptides and receptors in relation to affective illness. Effects of desipramine and lithium on opioid receptors in rat brain. ( Schou, M; Stengaard-Pedersen, K, 1985)
"Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension, the most common side effect encountered, occurred early in treatment at low desipramine plasma concentrations."1.26Major adverse reactions during desipramine treatment: relationship to plasma drug concentrations, concomitant antipsychotic treatment, and patient characteristics. ( Bock, J; Bowers, MB; Jatlow, PI; Nelson, JC; Quinlan, DM, 1982)
