Igmesine

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Igmesine (also known as JO 1784 or HOE 1784) is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor that was developed by Hoechst AG in the 1980s for the treatment of depression. However, it was never marketed.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Igmesine acts as a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI), with a high affinity for the serotonin transporter (SERT). It has low affinity for other neurotransmitter transporters and receptors and hence lacks significant norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) or dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) action.

History[edit | edit source]

Igmesine was developed by Hoechst AG in the 1980s. It reached phase III clinical trials for the treatment of depression, but was not marketed.
