Tandamine
Tandamine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that was developed in the 1970s but was never marketed. It is structurally related to other tricyclic antidepressants, such as imipramine and desipramine, and has similar pharmacological effects.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Tandamine acts primarily as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake into neurons. This results in an increase in the synaptic concentration of these neurotransmitters, enhancing neurotransmission and leading to improved mood and relief of depression.
Tandamine also has anticholinergic effects, which can lead to side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. However, these effects are generally less pronounced than with other tricyclic antidepressants.
Clinical Use[edit | edit source]
Despite its development, Tandamine was never marketed and is not currently used in clinical practice. However, research into its pharmacological properties has contributed to our understanding of the mechanisms of action of tricyclic antidepressants and SNRIs.
