Tricyclic antidepressant; inhibits the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters. Has little effect on the dopamine transporter | [Manufacturing Process]
20 parts of imino dibenzyl are dissolved in 100 parts by volume of absolutely
dry benzene. A suspension of 4 parts NaNH2 in 50 parts by volume of
absolute benzene are then added dropwise at 50° to 60°C after which the
mixture is boiled for an hour under reflux. 13 parts of 3-dimethylamino n_x0002_propyl chloride are then added dropwise at 40° to 50°C and the mixture is
boiled for 10 hours under reflux. After cooling, the benzene solution is
thoroughly washed with water, whereupon the basic constituents are extracted
with dilute hydrochloric acid.
The hydrochloric extract is then made alkaline and the separated base is
extracted with ether. After drying, the solvent is evaporated and the residue is
distilled in the high vacuum, whereby the N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-imino
dibenzyl passes over at a temperature of 160°C under 0.1 mm pressure. The
chlorohydrate with a melting point of 174° to 175°C is obtained therefrom
with alcoholic hydrochloric acid. | [Brand name]

Antidepressant | [General Description]
Imipramine hydrochloride, 5-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine monohydrochloride(Tofranil), is the lead compound of the TCAs. It is also a closerelative of the antipsychotic phenothiazines (replace the10–11 bridge with sulfur, and the compound is the antipsychoticagent promazine). It has weaker D2 postsynaptic blockingactivity than promazine and mainly affects amines (5-HT,NE, and DA) via the transporters. As is typical of dimethylaminocompounds, anticholinergic and sedative (central H1block) effects tend to be marked. The compound per se has a tendency toward a high 5-HT-to-NE uptake block ratio andprobably can be called a serotonin transport inhibitor(SERTI). Metabolic inactivation proceeds mainly by oxidativehydroxylation in the 2-position, followed by conjugationwith glucuronic acid of the conjugate. Urinary excretion predominates(about 75%), but some biliary excretion (up to25%) can occur, probably because of the large nonpolargrouping. Oxidative hydroxylation is not as rapid or completeas that of the more nucleophilic ring phenothiazine antipsychotics;consequently, appreciable N-demethylation occurs,with a buildup of norimipramine (or desimipramine). | [Biological Activity]
imipramine (hydrochloride) is a tricyclic antidepressant and is mainly used in the treatment of major depression and enuresis [1].antidepressants are antagonists of many neurotransmitter receptors in human brain [3].imipramine is the first tricyclic antidepressant that acts mainly as an inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine transporters [2]. in radioligand binding assays, imipramine inhibited serotonin and norepinephrine transporters with kd values of 1.4 and 37 nm, respectively [2]. imipramine is also inhibited histamine h1 receptor, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and α1-adrenergic receptor with kd values of 37, 46, and 32 nm, respectively [4].in rodents, imipramine abolished the depressive syndrome produced by the acute administration of reserpine. imipramine also possessed central anticholinergic activity and attenuate the activity of the centrally acting muscarinic agents tremorine and oxotremorine. imipramine inhibited the presynaptic uptake of na and 5-ht, and relatively weak against da [1]. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Tricyclic antidepressant; inhibits the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters with Kis of 7.7 nM and 67 nM, respectively. Has little effect on the dopamine transporter (Ki = 25 μM). | [Clinical Use]
The demethylated metabolite is less anticholinergic, lesssedative, and more stimulatory and is a SNERI.Consequently, a patient treated with imipramine has twocompounds that contribute to activity. Overall, the effect isnonselective 5-HT versus NE reuptake. | [Veterinary Drugs and Treatments]
In dogs and cats, imipramine has been used to treat cataplexy and
urinary incontinence.
In horses, imipramine has been used to treat
narcolepsy and ejaculatory dysfunction (no parenteral dosage
forms available). | [Drug interactions]
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Alcohol: increased sedative effect.

tramadol; possibly increased risk of side effects with
nefopam; possibly increased sedative effects with
opioids.

phenobarbital and possibly fosphenytoin, phenytoin
and primidone.
Antimalarials: avoid with artemether/lumefantrine

labetalol and propranolol

and arrhythmias with adrenaline and noradrenaline;
metabolism possibly inhibited by methylphenidate. | [Metabolism]
Imipramine is extensively demethylated by first-pass
metabolism in the liver, to its primary active metabolite,
desipramine (desmethylimipramine). Paths of
metabolism of both imipramine and desipramine include
hydroxylation and N-oxidation.
About 80% is excreted in the urine and about 20% in the
faeces, mainly in the form of inactive metabolites. Urinary
excretion of unchanged imipramine and of the active
metabolite desipramine is about 5% and 6% respectively.
Only small quantities of these are excreted in the faeces. | [storage]
