Description

Ciclazindol is an indole derivative and monoamine uptake inhibitor patented by pharmaceutical company John Wyeth and Brother Ltd. as an antidepressant. Besides that, Ciclazindol is effective anorectic agent, inducing weight loss in rats and man. Ciclazindol was shown to inhibit ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel currents and stimulate insulin secretion from CRI-G1 insulin-secreting cells. The inhibition of KATP channel currents by ciclazindol is unaffected by the removal of intracellular Mg2+ ions and after trypsinization of the cytoplasmic surface of excised patches, treatments known to abolish sulphonylurea sensitivity.
