Cianopramine

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Cianopramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that was developed in the 1970s but was never marketed. It is similar in structure to other TCAs such as imipramine and desipramine.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Cianopramine acts as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and has potent inhibitory effects on the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. It also has anticholinergic effects, which can lead to side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision.

History[edit | edit source]

Cianopramine was developed in the 1970s as a potential treatment for depression. However, it was never marketed, possibly due to its side effect profile or lack of efficacy compared to other TCAs.
