pilocarpine and Depressive Disorder

pilocarpine has been researched along with Depressive Disorder in 15 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Depressive Disorder: An affective disorder manifested by either a dysphoric mood or loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities. The mood disturbance is prominent and relatively persistent.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This study aimed to investigate whether 1-trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1-propionylpiperidin-4-yl) urea (TPPU), a soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor with anti-inflammatory effects, could alleviate spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS) and epilepsy-associated depressive behaviours in the lithium chloride (LiCl)-pilocarpine-induced post-status epilepticus (SE) rat model."7.91Anti-inflammatory treatment with a soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor attenuates seizures and epilepsy-associated depression in the LiCl-pilocarpine post-status epilepticus rat model.

" We examined whether pharmacological blockade of hippocampal interleukin-1 receptor exerts antidepressant effects in an animal model of comorbidity between TLE and depression, which developed in Wistar rats following pilocarpine status epilepticus (SE)."3.76Comorbidity between epilepsy and depression: role of hippocampal interleukin-1beta. ( Mazarati, AM; Pineda, E; Sankar, R; Shin, D; Taylor, AN; Tio, D, 2010)
" We established that animals that had been subjected to lithium chloride and pilocarpine status epilepticus (SE) and developed spontaneous recurrent seizures, exhibited a set of impairments congruent with a depressive state: behavioral equivalents of anhedonia and despair, dysregulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and compromised raphe-hippocampal serotonergic transmission."3.76Comorbidity between epilepsy and depression: experimental evidence for the involvement of serotonergic, glucocorticoid, and neuroinflammatory mechanisms.

( Ding, J; Fan, F; Li, X; Peng, WF; Wang, X; Zhang, QQ, 2016)
" It is concluded that in clinical dosage mianserin is devoid of effects upon muscarinic receptors, alpha 1 adrenoceptors and noradrenaline uptake in the pupil."1.27Failure of mianserin to affect autonomic function in the pupils of depressed patients. ( Checkley, S; Delgado, I; Shur, E, 1983)
