lofepramine and Depression

lofepramine has been researched along with Depression in 18 studies

Lofepramine: A psychotropic IMIPRAMINE derivative that acts as a tricyclic antidepressant and possesses few anticholinergic properties. It is metabolized to DESIPRAMINE.

Depression: Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The improvement of depression after partial sleep deprivation in the second half of the night (sd) is tested for its predictory power for the therapeutical efficacy of pharmacotherapy with lofepramine."9.04Prediction of lofepramine-response in depression based on response to partial sleep deprivation. ( Philipp, M; Werner, C, 1979)
"A double-blind trial was undertaken to compare the antidepressant efficacy and the side effects of Lofepramine with those of Amitriptyline in the treatment of endogenous depression."9.04A double-blind trial with amitriptyline and lofepramine in the treatment of endogenous depression. ( Marneros, A; Philipp, M, 1979)
"The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolites of lofepramine (LOF), namely desipramine (DMI), desmethyl desipramine (DDMI) and desmethyl lofepramine (DML) in the forced swim and olfactory bulbectomized (OB) rat models of depression."7.70An investigation of the antidepressant properties of lofepramine and its desmethylated metabolites in the forced swim and olfactory bulbectomized rat models of depression. ( Kelly, JP; Leonard, BE, 1999)
"An open pilot study on 30 in-patients with endogenous depression showed a clear-cut circadian fluctuation of the therapeutical effect of single doses of lofepramine administered at three different times of the day (8 a."5.04Chronobiology and its implications for pharmacotherapy of endogenous depression. ( Marneros, A; Philipp, M, 1978)
"The improvement of depression after partial sleep deprivation in the second half of the night (sd) is tested for its predictory power for the therapeutical efficacy of pharmacotherapy with lofepramine."5.04Prediction of lofepramine-response in depression based on response to partial sleep deprivation. ( Philipp, M; Werner, C, 1979)
"Although a 76-year-old woman with a diagnosis of depression began a course of maprotiline, the drug was discontinued after 14 days when she developed a rash."3.70[A case of allergic cross reaction between tricyclic antidepressants and maprotiline]. ( Kodama, Y; Nomura, S; Shimizu, K; Watanabe, M, 1998)
"The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolites of lofepramine (LOF), namely desipramine (DMI), desmethyl desipramine (DDMI) and desmethyl lofepramine (DML) in the forced swim and olfactory bulbectomized (OB) rat models of depression."3.70An investigation of the antidepressant properties of lofepramine and its desmethylated metabolites in the forced swim and olfactory bulbectomized rat models of depression. ( Kelly, JP; Leonard, BE, 1999)
" Neurochemical studies show that both lofepramine and its metabolite are potent noradrenaline uptake inhibitors in vitro and evidence is presented to suggest that lofepramine may release this amine following chronic administration in vivo; both drugs slightly increase serotonin turnover under these conditions and down-regulate cortical beta-adrenoceptor function."2.37A comparison of the pharmacological properties of the novel tricyclic antidepressant lofepramine with its major metabolite, desipramine: a review. ( Leonard, BE, 1987)
" Insufficient success in therapy was observed most often when the minimal dose of 35 mg per day was administered, while convincing results were obtained by a dosage of 70 to 140 mg of Lofepramine daily."1.26[Results of treatment with the anti-depressive agent lofepramine in neurological practice]. ( Lindner, M, 1980)
