imipramine and Parkinson Disease

imipramine has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 43 studies

Imipramine: The prototypical tricyclic antidepressant. It has been used in major depression, dysthymia, bipolar depression, attention-deficit disorders, agoraphobia, and panic disorders. It has less sedative effect than some other members of this therapeutic group.
imipramine : A dibenzoazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propyl group at the nitrogen atom.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Patients with Parkinson's syndrome whose major symptoms are akinesis, rigidity, inertia, depression, irritability and failure of adaptation rather than tremor appear to benefit in a global way from therapy with imipramine."7.64Parkinson's syndrome, depression and imipramine. A preliminary report. ( FOWLER, W; MANDELL, AJ; MARKHAM, C, 1961)
"Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cardinal motor features, such as bradykinesia, but also vocal deficits (e."5.48Effects of ketamine on vocal impairment, gait changes, and anhedonia induced by bilateral 6-OHDA infusion into the substantia nigra pars compacta in rats: Therapeutic implications for Parkinson's disease. ( Andreatini, R; Bruginski, E; Campos, FR; de Almeida Soares Hocayen, P; Kanazawa, LKS; Miyoshi, E; Schwarting, RKW; Stern, CAJ; Vecchia, DD; Vital, MABF; Wendler, E; Wöhr, M, 2018)
"Tritiated imipramine binding in platelets has been used to evaluate serotonin activity in depression in previous studies."3.68Tritiated imipramine binding. A peripheral marker for serotonin in Parkinson's disease. ( Coté, L; Lawton, A; Marder, K; Mayeux, R; Sano, M; Stanley, M; Stern, Y; Williams, J, 1991)
"Patients with Parkinson's syndrome whose major symptoms are akinesis, rigidity, inertia, depression, irritability and failure of adaptation rather than tremor appear to benefit in a global way from therapy with imipramine."3.64Parkinson's syndrome, depression and imipramine. A preliminary report. ( FOWLER, W; MANDELL, AJ; MARKHAM, C, 1961)
"The most common features of Parkinson's disease (PD) are motor impairments, but many patients also present depression and memory impairment."1.62Ketamine reversed short-term memory impairment and depressive-like behavior in animal model of Parkinson's disease. ( Andreatini, R; Da Cunha, C; Hocayen, PAS; Kanazawa, LKS; Miyoshi, E; Takahashi, RN; Vecchia, DD; Vital, MABF; Wendler, E, 2021)
"Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cardinal motor features, such as bradykinesia, but also vocal deficits (e."1.48Effects of ketamine on vocal impairment, gait changes, and anhedonia induced by bilateral 6-OHDA infusion into the substantia nigra pars compacta in rats: Therapeutic implications for Parkinson's disease.

" The present study indicates that already a moderate lesion of dopaminergic neurons induces "depressive-like" behaviour in animals which is reversed by chronic administration of the antiparkinsonian drug, pramipexole."1.40Pramipexole but not imipramine or fluoxetine reverses the "depressive-like" behaviour in a rat model of preclinical stages of Parkinson's disease. ( Berghauzen-Maciejewska, K; Dziubina, A; Głowacka, U; Kolasiewicz, W; Kuter, K; Ossowska, K; Wardas, J, 2014)
"Nine patients 55 to 74 years old with Parkinson's disease were tested before and after treatment with 50 to 225 mg dimepramine fumarate (CIBA G-31406) for about three weeks daily in order to determine the drug's effects on electrodermal responsiveness to a series of unpredictably occurring loud sounds."1.26Effects of dimepramine fumarate on physiological and cognitive behaviors of Parkinson patients. ( Feldman, RG; Gade, A; Oscar-Berman, M; Saavedra, MA, 1979)
