Minaprine, a psychotropic drug, which was effective in the treatment of various depressive states. This drug was withdrawn because of the serious side effect. It was found, that minaprine inhibited the following enzymes, acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase (MOA) A. It also binds to dopamine D1 and D2 receptors. Experiments on rodents also have revealed that minaprine suppressed the inhibitory effect of hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on dopamine (DA) release via the inhibition of 5-HT binding at the 5-HT2 receptor on the nerve terminal.
