Amitriptylinoxide

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Amitriptylinoxide is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that was developed in the late 1960s but was never marketed. It is the 10,11-dihydro derivative of amitriptyline.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Amitriptylinoxide acts as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and also blocks the acetylcholine receptor, the latter of which is responsible for its anticholinergic side effects. It is less sedating and has less anticholinergic effect than amitriptyline.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Amitriptylinoxide, also known as 10,11-dihydro-N,N-dimethyl-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene-Δ5,γ-oxide, is a tricyclic compound and is structurally related to other tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline and nortriptyline.
