Application

Imipramine hydrochloride has been used:
  • as a non- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) tricyclic anti-depressant (DD-IMI) to treat animals
  • to investigate its interaction with insulin in aqueous solution
  • to abolish the ability of internalized lipoproteins to stimulate cholesteryl esterification

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tricyclic antidepressant; inhibits the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters with Kis of 7.7 nM and 67 nM, respectively. Has little effect on the dopamine transporter (Ki = 25 μM).
