Zimeldine was one of the first selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to be marketed as an antidepressant under the brand names Zimeldine, Normud, and Zelmid. Zimelidine was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Arvid Carlsson, who was then working for the Swedish company Astra AB. While zimelidine had a very favorable safety profile, within a year and a half of its introduction, rare case reports of Guillain–Barré syndrome emerged that appeared to be caused by the drug, prompting its withdrawl from the market.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Eleven narcoleptic patients were studied before and one month after treatment with 100 mg daily oral dose of zimelidine. All patients improved with zimelidine. Ten patients had complete suppression of cataplexy.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Human PC-3, DU-145, and LNCaP cells were each maintained in Leibovitz's L-medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics. Cells were plated in serum-supplemented growth medium at 10,000 cells per well and treated with zimelidine 24 hours later. After 3 days, cell numbers were determined using the MTT assay. Zimelidine demonstrated concentration dependent inhibition against all three prostate carcinoma cell lines. The half maximal concentration for growth inhibition was reported as 15.0, 25.0, and 65.0 micro-M for PC-3, DU-145, and LNCaP respectively.
