Fluoxetine (LY-110140) is a highly specific serotonin uptake inhibitor and selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor. Fluoxetine has antidepressant activity.

Trimipramine maleate (Surmontil maleate) appears to inhibit serotonin transport and norepinephrine uptake by nerve terminals. This increases available norepinephrine or serotonin and prolongs its action. Trimipramine Maleate is the maleate salt form of trimipramine, a tricyclic secondary amine of the dibenzazepine class, with an antidepressant property.

Mirtazapine (6-Azamianserin) is a tetracyclic antidepressant with a somewhat unique mechanism of action. Mirtazapine therapy can be associated with transient asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Escitalopram (Seroplex) is a furancarbonitrile that is one of the SEROTONIN UPTAKE INHIBITORS used as an antidepressant. The drug is also effective in reducing ethanol uptake in alcoholics and is used in depressed patients who also suffer from tardive dyskinesia in preference to tricyclic antidepressants, which aggravate this condition.

Protriptyline Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of protriptyline, a tricyclic secondary amine with an antidepressant property. Protriptyline hydrochloride (Protriptyline HCl) blocks the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin by nerve terminals, thereby increasing available norepinephrine and serotonin. In addition, this agent exhibits anticholinergic activity.

Dexchlorpheniramine Maleate (S-(+)-Chlorpheniramine maleate salt) is an antihistamine with anticholinergic properties used to treat allergic conditions such as hay fever or urticaria. It is the pharmacologically active dextrorotatory isomer of chlorpheniramine.

Doxepin hydrochloride (Aponal) is a dibenzoxepin tricyclic compound. It displays a range of pharmacological actions including maintaining adrenergic innervation. Its mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it appears to block reuptake of monoaminergic neurotransmitters into presynaptic terminals. It also possesses anticholinergic activity and modulates antagonism of histamine H(1)- and H(2)-receptors.

Vilazodone (SB659746A) is a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a 5-HT-1A receptor partial agonist, with antidepressant and anti-anxiety activities. Vilazodone inhibits the reuptake of serotonin from the synaptic cleft while stimulating the release of 5-HT into the synaptic cleft. This increases the concentration of 5-HT in the synaptic cleft and potentiates serotonergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system.

Clomipramine hydrochloride (Anafranil) is a tricyclic antidepressant similar to IMIPRAMINE that selectively inhibits the uptake of serotonin in the brain. It is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and demethylated in the liver to form its primary active metabolite, desmethylclomipramine.

Nortriptyline hydrochloride (ELF-101 hydrochloride) is a metabolite of AMITRIPTYLINE that is also used as an antidepressive agent. Nortriptyline is used in major depression, dysthymia, and atypical depressions.

Trazodone hydrochloride (Trazodone HCl) is a serotonin uptake inhibitor that is used as an antidepressive agent. It has been shown to be effective in patients with major depressive disorders and other subsets of depressive disorders. It is generally more useful in depressive disorders associated with insomnia and anxiety.

2-Bromo-6-methoxynaphthalene was used in the synthesis of nabumetone [4-(6-methoxy-2-naphthalenyl)-2-butanone] by Heck reaction.

Mianserin hydrochloride (Org GB 94) is a tetracyclic compound with antidepressant properties that blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and certain serotonin receptors; it may cause drowsiness and hematological issues.

Fluoxetine hydrochloride (Lilly110140) is the first highly specific serotonin uptake inhibitor. It is used as an antidepressant and often has a more acceptable side-effects profile than traditional antidepressants.

Tegaserod maleate (SDZ-HTF-919) is a 5-HT4 agonist manufactured by Novartis for managing irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. It was the only drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for relieving abdominal discomfort, bloating, and constipation associated with irritable bowel syndrome. On March 30, 2007, the FDA requested that Novartis withdraw Zelnorm from the market due to alleged increased risks of heart attack or stroke associated with its use.

Minaprine, a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A, is used in the treatment of various depressive states.

Duloxetine hydrochloride ((S)-Duloxetine hydrochloride) is a thiophene derivative and selective neurotransmitter uptake inhibitor for serotonin and noradrenaline (SNRI). It is an antidepressant agent and anxiolytic, also used for treating pain in patients with diabetes mellitus and fibromyalgia.
