Clorotepine

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Clorotepine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that was developed in the 1960s but was never marketed. It is structurally related to other tricyclic antidepressants, such as imipramine and amitriptyline.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Clorotepine, like other tricyclic antidepressants, works by inhibiting the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin and norepinephrine. This increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain, which can help to alleviate symptoms of depression.

History[edit | edit source]

Clorotepine was developed in the 1960s as a potential treatment for depression. However, it was never marketed, possibly due to the development of newer, more effective antidepressants.
