TCA
trazodone
5-HT2 antagonist
bupropion
tetracyclinc/unicyclic
mertazapine
tetracyclic/unicyclic
selegiline
MAOI
antidepressants
affect serotonin, NE, or both
reserpine
decreases biogenic amines
blocks vesicular uptake of monoamines
neurotrophic factor
BDNF
-growth factor -neurogenesis
involved mood and depression disorders
fluoxetine
long t-1/2
selegiline
transdermal and sublingual forms
-decrease food interactions
SSRI MOA
inhibit serotonin transporter - SERT
increased serotonin at synaptic cleft
80% blocked - therapeutic dosage
possible chronic adapatation to SSRIs
downregulation of postsynaptic 5-HT2 receptor density
SNRI MOA
inhibit SERT and NET
higher affinity of SERT than NET
TCA MOA
inhibit SERT and NET
different TCAs - different affinities for SERT and NET
TCA
also have high affinity - adrenergic, cholinergic, histmaine receptors
-more side effects
trazodone
5-HT2 antagonist
nefazodone
5-HT2 antagonist
counterintuitive why they work
suicide patients
more 5-HT2 receptors - overdensity
may be involved in path of depression
bupropion MOA
selective inhibitor of DAT - dopamine transporter
stimulate presynaptic release of NE and DA
no effect on serotonin
MAOI MOA
mitochondrial enzyme - MAO - metabolize monoamines to inactive metabolites
MAO-A - NE and 5-HT
cause accumulation of NE, 5-HT, DA in vesicles of nerve endings
tyramineselegiline MOA
metabolized by MAO-A and MAO-B
with MAOI - can get accumulation - not goodselective irreversible MAO-B inhibitor (low dose
and nonselective MAO-A/B inhibitor - high dose (refractory depression)
1-2 months
until max benefit of antidepressants
adequate response achieved - recommend minimum 6-12 months of tx
85% patients with major depressive disorder
have at least one recurrence in lifetime
