Application

Zimelidine dihydrochloride has been used as a serotonin transport inhibitor to study its inhibitory role in the uptake of exogenous serotonin by bipolar cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zimelidine, an antidepressant, is a specific 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor, that can be used in treating phobic anxiety. It is very effective and can be tolerated well in elderly individuals. This serotonin transport inhibitor is less likely than other antidepressants to have cardiovascular side effects. Unlike other tricyclic antidepressants, Zimelidine might promote weight loss but not weight gain.

Fluoxetine, zimelidine, sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, indalpine and citalopram are the selective inhibitors of serotonin uptake that have been most widely studied. Some of these compounds are or have been used clinically in the treatment of mental depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and

The effects of antidepressant drugs on the synthesis of noradrenaline and serotonin (5-HT) were assessed using the accumulation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) after decarboxylase inhibition as a measure of the rate of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylation in the

Drug-induced inotropic change is a risk factor in drug development; thus, de-risking is desired in the early stages of drug development. Unlike proarrhythmic risk assessment using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), few in vitro models were validated to
