Cericlamine
Cericlamine (also known as JO-1017) is a drug developed by the pharmaceutical company Janssen Pharmaceutica. It was initially developed as an antidepressant, but its development was discontinued due to lack of efficacy.
History[edit | edit source]
Cericlamine was first developed by Janssen Pharmaceutica, a Belgium-based pharmaceutical company. The drug was initially developed as an antidepressant, but its development was discontinued due to lack of efficacy.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Cericlamine is a reuptake inhibitor and releasing agent of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, three neurotransmitters known to play key roles in mood regulation. It also acts as a NMDA receptor antagonist, which may contribute to its antidepressant effects.
Clinical trials[edit | edit source]
Cericlamine has undergone several clinical trials for the treatment of major depressive disorder. However, the results of these trials were not promising, and the drug's development was discontinued.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
The most common side effects of cericlamine include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and insomnia. In rare cases, it can cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by agitation, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, and high body temperature.
