Description

Diclofensine is an antidepressant with equipotent inhibitive effects on the neuronal uptake of norepinephrine (NE), serotonin, and dopamine. It is devoid of monoamine-releasing or monoaminoxidase-inhibiting properties. Diclofensine was found to be an effective antidepressant in human trials, with relatively few side effects, but was ultimately dropped from clinical development.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Treatment of depression: a 50 mg daily dose of diclofensine would be sufficient for the majority of the patients. The dosage can be safely increased up to 150 mg daily but this offers few therapeutic advantages.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Diclofensine, in concentrations of 0.01, 0.1 and 1 uM caused a marked decrease of 3H-DA uptake in rat arcuate-periventricular nucleus-median eminence synaptosomes. Diclofensine (50 uM) caused a 3 fold enhancement of K+-evoked endogenous DA release from tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons.
