Optical Activity ( + / - )

Trimipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant similar to imipramine, but with more antihistaminic and sedative properties. It was sold under brand name surmontil for the relief of symptoms of depression. Endogenous depression is more likely to be alleviated than other depressive states. In studies with neurotic outpatients, the drug appeared to be equivalent to amitriptyline in the less-depressed patients but somewhat less effective than amitriptyline in the more severely depressed patients. In hospitalized depressed patients, trimipramine and imipramine were equally effective in relieving depression. Trimipramine has been reported to differ from other typical tricyclic antidepressant drugs in several aspects, for instance it does not inhibit neuronal transmitter uptake and does not cause down-regulation of beta-adrenoceptors. Moreover, it may possess antipsychotic activity in schizophrenic patients. In addition, was found that it did not antagonize the inhibitory effect of noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine on the release of transmitter, mediated by presynaptic auto receptors. In radioligand binding studies, trimipramine showed fairly high affinities for some dopamine (DA), noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor subtypes (5-HT2 receptors = alpha 1A/B-adrenoceptors greater than or equal to D2 receptors), intermediate affinities for D1 receptors, alpha 2B-adrenoceptors and 5-HT1C receptors but only low affinities for alpha 2A-adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1D and 5-HT3 receptors. It may thus be classified as an atypical neuroleptic drug.

SURMONTIL is indicated for the relief of symptoms of depression. Endogenous depression is more likely to be alleviated than other depressive states. In studies with neurotic outpatients, the drug appeared to be equivalent to amitriptyline in the less-depressed patients but somewhat less effective than amitriptyline in the more severely depressed patients. In hospitalized depressed patients, trimipramine and imipramine were equally effective in relieving depression.

Sample Use Guides

Outpatients and Office Patients: initially, 75 mg/day in divided doses, increased to 150 mg/day. Dosages over 200 mg/day are not recommended. Maintenance therapy is in the range of 50 to 150 mg/day. For convenient therapy and to facilitate patient compliance, the total dosage requirement may be given at bedtime. Hospitalized Patient: initially, 100 mg/day in divided doses. This may be increased gradually in a few days to 200 mg/day, depending upon individual response and tolerance. If improvement does not occur in 2 to 3 weeks, the dose may be increased to the maximum recommended dose of 250 to 300 mg/day. Adolescent and Geriatric Patients: initially, a dose of 50 mg/day is recommended, with gradual increments up to 100 mg/day, depending upon patient response and tolerance.
Route of Administration: Oral
It was investigated whether trimipramine and three of its metabolites interact with targets of other antidepressants, namely, the human monoamine transporters for noradrenaline (hNAT), serotonin (hSERT), and dopamine (hDAT), and with the human organic cation transporters (hOCT1, hOCT2, and hOCT3) which are expressed in the brain and are known to be involved in the uptake of monoamines. HEK293 cells heterologously expressing the abovementioned transporters were used to determine the inhibition of [(3)H]MPP(+) uptake by trimipramine and its main metabolites. At concentrations up to 30 μM, all transporters, except hOCT3, were inhibited by all examined substances. With IC(50) values between 2 and 10 μM, trimipramine inhibited hSERT, hNAT, hOCT1, and hOCT2, whereas clearly higher concentrations were needed for half-maximal inhibition of hDAT. Desmethyl-trimipramine showed about the same potencies as trimipramine, whereas 2-hydroxy-trimipramine was less potent at hNAT, hSERT, and hOCT1. Trimipramine-N-oxide preferentially inhibited hSERT.
