mianserin and Anesthesia

mianserin has been researched along with Anesthesia in 2 studies

Mianserin: A tetracyclic compound with antidepressant effects. It may cause drowsiness and hematological problems. Its mechanism of therapeutic action is not well understood, although it apparently blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and some types of serotonin receptors.
mianserin : A dibenzoazepine (specifically 1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo[c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]azepine) methyl-substituted on N-2. Closely related to (and now mostly superseded by) the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapinean, it is an atypical antidepressant used in the treatment of depression throughout Europe and elsewhere.

Anesthesia: A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Mirtazapine (MIR) is a novel antidepressant, reported to raise extracellular noradrenaline (NA) through blockade of alpha2-autoreceptors and serotonin (5-HT) output via (1) indirect activation of facilitatory alpha1-adrenoceptors on the cell bodies of ascending 5-HT neurones and (2) blockade of presynaptic release-modulating alpha2-heteroreceptors on 5-HT terminals in the forebrain."1.31Interaction of the antidepressant mirtazapine with alpha2-adrenoceptors modulating the release of 5-HT in different rat brain regions in vivo. ( Bengtsson, HJ; Hjorth, S; Johansson, J; Kele, J, 2000)
" It is concluded that all four drugs show the toxic effects classically associated with tricyclic antidepressants but the relative toxicity amongst these agents varies considerably and is in the order amitriptyline greater than imipramine greater than maprotiline greater than mianserin."1.26The relative toxicity of amitriptyline, imipramine, maprotiline and mianserin in rabbits in vivo. ( Hughes, IE; Radwan, S, 1979)
