Antidepressant Drugs Serotonin (5-HT) MOOD NA DA Depression • Activity of NE and 5 -HT systems Classification of Major Affective Disorders Major Affective Disorders Episodal Depression Seasonal Affective Disorder Atypical Depression Major/ Endogenous Depression Mania Bipolar depression Depression feelings of misery apathy inadequacy pessimism anxiety tension Guilt Ugliness Low self –esteem Bodily complaints Indecisiveness Ioss of motivation Retardation of thought and action Sleep disturbance • In severe cases, it is accompanied by hallucinations and delusions. • Recurrent suicidal ideation, a suicide attempt or a specific suicide plan. •significant weight change (without dieting ) •Psychomotor agitation or retardation. Mania Mania alone is rare (10%) and most frequently cycles with Major/endogenous depression (Manic-Depressive Disease, Bipolar Disorder). Core Symptoms: Characterized by an elevated “high” mood. Talkative, go on-and-on about the things they will do. Increased self-esteem. Auditory hallucinations. Decrease need to sleep. Expensiveness, unnecessary buying. Lack judgment, Superman, spiderman. Almost all NE pathways in the brain originate from the cell bodies of neuronal cells in the locus coereleus in the midbrain, which send their axons diffusely to the cortex, cerebellum and limbic areas (hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, thalamus). Mood: -- higher functions performed by the cortex. Cognitive function: -- function of cortex. Drive and motivation: -- function of brainstem Memory and emotion: -- function of the hippocampus and amygdala. Endocrine response: -- function of hypothalamus. Serotonin System As with the NE system, serotonin neurons located in the pons and midbrain (in groups known as raphe nuclei) send their projections diffusely to the cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, thalamus, etc. --same areas implicated in depression. This system is also involved in: • • • • Anxiety. Sleep. Sexual behavior. Temperature regulation. Blocked by antidepressant s Serotonin receptors 5–HT1 subtypes 5–HT1A, 5–HT1B, 5–HT1D, 5– HT1E, 5–HT1F primarily responsible for the therapeutic (antidepressant) effects of increased intrasynaptic serotonin 5–HT2 subtypes 5–HT2A, 5–HT2B, 5–HT2C primarily responsible for the toxic effects of increased intrasynaptic serotonin Serotonin receptors • Over all 14 types divided in to 1, 2, 3, and 4-7 family • All are G-protein coupled receptors except 3 • 1- decreases cAMP while 4-7 increase • 2- generation of IP3/DAG • 3- ligand gated cation channel Reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (RIMAs) Moclobemide ,Clorgyline A • (Isocarboxacid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine.) N T I Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) D E NA + 5 HT reuptake inhibitor Predominantly NA reuptake inhibitor P Imipramine, Amitriptyline Desipramine, Nortriptyline R Amoxapine, Reboxetine Trimipramine, Doxepin, Dothiepin, E S Clomipramine S A N T Selective serotonin reuptake Atypical antidepressants S inhibitors (SSRIs) Trazodone, Mianserine Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine Mirtazapine, Venlafaxine Duloxetine,Tianeptine Paroxetine, Sertraline Amineptine, Bupropion Citalopram, Escitalopram Mechanism of Action 1. Inhibition of MAO enzymes. (MAOIs). A T Y P I C A L 2. Inhibition of NE and 5-HT reuptake. (TCAs, SSRIs, Newer TCAs). 3. Prominent alpha blocking and weak 5-HT2 antagonists. (Nefazodone, trazodone,) 4. Serotonin and noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor (SNRIs) (venlafaxine, duloxetine) 5. Noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NaSSA) (Mirtazapine) 6. Inhibitor of Dopamine and Noradrenalin uptake (Bupropion) 7. Blockade of pre-synaptic alpha 2 receptors (Mianserin) 8. Increases rather than inhibiting 5-HT uptake (Tianeptine, Amineptine) MAO ( monoamine oxidase) an enzyme Two types • MAO – A -Peripheral adrenergic nerve endings -Intestinal mucosa -Human placenta -Liver -Serotonin , Noradrenalin and dopamine -Inhibited by • MAO-B -brain ( basal ganglia) -Platelets -Liver -Deaminates dopamine -Inhibeted by selegiline (deprenyl) moclobemide and clorgyline Isoniazide, iproniazide, phenelzine, isocarboxazide,tranylcypromine were non selective and irreversible inhibitors (Hit and run drugs) used previously but not used now due to drug drug and drug food interactions. Linezolide (new drug against MRSA) Cheese and serotonin syndrome Nonselective MAOIs not favorable Cheese Reaction Cheese, beer, wine, meat, fish, yeast, (contain large amount of tyramine and other indirectly acting amines) Due to irreversible block of MAO These escape degradation in intestinal wall and liver • Hypertensive crises, Reach to circulation Displace large amount of noradrenalin from loaded nerves CVA • Medical Emergency Tt. I.V. Phentolamine, Prazosin Nonselective MAOIs not favorable –Cold and Cough medicines contain Ephedrine (Same result as cheese reaction) Reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (RIMAs) • Moclobemide–Reversible and selective MAO-A inhibitor –Short duration of action –Competitive enzyme inhibition –Tyramine is able to displace it –Cheese reaction is less likely –Devoid of anticholenergic, sedative, cognitive, cardiovascular effects –Good for elderly with heart diseases Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) • Imipramine represents the class (Prototype) • Inhibit monoamine reuptake (serotonin and noradrenaline) Serotonin and NA at • Increase the concentration of synapse and potentiate the action (therapeutic effects) • Other receptors acted (Adverse effects) »Muscarinic- Anticholinergic side effects (dryness etc.) »Alpha receptor blocking actions (postural hypotension etc.) »Histamine-Antihistaminic (sedation) »Dopamine- antipsychotic (amoxapine, maprotiline) TCAs actions (CNS) • In Normal person • In Depressed - -Sedation immediately -Elevation of mood (24Weeks) -Suppresses REM -prolongs total sleep duration Tiredness Light-headedness Sleepiness Difficulty in thinking Difficulty in concentration, - Gait disturbances - Provoke anxiety - Unpleasant Lower seizure threshold and produce convulsions in overdose Don’t carry abuse potential, Development of dependence is less TCAs uptake blockade is not directly responsible for antidepressant action? • Uptake blockade occurs quickly but antidepressant action occurs after months • Initially Pre synaptic alpha 2 and 5-HT1 auto receptors are activated by increased amount of NA and Serotonin in synaptic cleft -resulting in decreased firing • But on long term desensitize and down regulation of these receptors and induce adaptive changes in the number and sensitivity of receptors and amine turnover leading to enhanced NA and Serotonin transmission required for antidepressant action. • Signaling via NE or 5-HT increases the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) • BDNF- related to the ultimate mechanism of action of antidepressant drugs • Increase in BDNF levels increased neurogenesis in the hippocampus TCAs Adverse effects • Anticholinergic- dry mouth, bad taste, • • • • • • • constipation, epigastric fullness, urinary retention (more common in elderly male), blurred vision, palpitation Sedation, mental confusion, weakness Increased appetite and weight Sweating, fine tremors Precipitation of seizures Postural hypotension Cardiac arrhythmias Rashes and jaundice (mianserin) TCAs (Acute Poisoning) • Usually suicidal attempt • Presents as – Excitement – delirium – Anticholinergic symptoms like atropine poisoning – Muscle spasm – Convulsions – arrhythmias – Respiratory depression – Coma • Treatment – – – – Gastric lavage I.V. line Oxygen Maintenance of BP and Temperature – Diazepam iv – Propranolol / lignocaine Miscellaneous • Amoxapine – Blocks D2 + inhibition of NA reuptake – Has mixed antidepressant and neuroleptic effects – Good for psychotic depression • Reboxetine • Selective NA reuptake blocker • Weak action on 5-HT mechanism • Anticholinergic effects are minimal Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) • Limitations of TCAs – – – – – – – – – – • Answers may be given by SSRIs Anticholinergic effects • Selectively inhibit SERT (serotonin transporter) Alpha blocking action • More tolerability and better Cardio toxicity acceptability Sedation, seizures ppt • Used in depression as well as in OCD, phobias Low safety margin • No sedation, No seizure ppt Weight gain • No alpha blocking action Therapeutic window • Less chances of arrhythmia Overdose poisoning • No weight gain common • Now 1st choice for OCD, Panic disorders, Social Phobia, Eating disorders, Lag of 1 month period Premenstrual syndrome, Post traumatic Incomplete response to stress Tt Important points TCAs have slightly more efficacy Some patients not responding to TCAs may respond to SSRIs, SSRIs preferred in prophylaxis of recurrent depression In severe depression TCAs appear to be more efficacious Individual compounds • Fluoxetine – Prototype of SSRIs – Longest acting • Paroxetine • Short acting • More GI side effects Citalopram •Similar to sertraline but should be avoided in patients attempting suicide • Fluvoxamine – Short acting – Commonly used in indoor patients • Sertraline • Less chances of drug interactions due to low potency to cause cytochrome enzyme depression SSRIs • Side effects • Gastric upset • Nausea • Interfere with ejaculation • Nervousness • Restlessness • Insomnia • Anorexia • Headache • Diarrhea • Epistaxis • Ecchymosis • Others • Inhibit cytochrome enzymes and elevate the plasma level of other drugs • Other serotonergic drug ( MAOIs) is taken may precipitate Serotonin Syndrome manifesting as agitation, restlessness, sweating, twitching, convulsions Atypical Antidepressants • Trazodone • Mianserin – Blocks 5-HT uptake – Has prominenent alpha blocking – potent 5-HT2 antagonist – No anticholinergic effect – Bradycardia – Has anxiolytic action also – Prolonged and painful penile erection (priapism) – Unique not inhibit NA and 5-HT uptake – Blocks pre-synaptic alpha 2 receptors increases release and turnover of NA – Antagonist at serotonin 2, 1c, and H1 receptors – Has sedative effect – Damages liver and bone marrow (Reserve drug) Atypical Antidepressants • Tianeptine / and Amineptine – Increases rather inhibiting 5-HT uptake – Neither sedative nor stimulant – Effective in anxiodepressive states • Mirtazapine (NaSSA) – Noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant – Blocks alpha 2 auto receptor (on NA neuron) and hetero(on 5-HT neuron) receptors increasing both NA and serotonin release. • Duloxetine – Duloxetine increases uretheral tone, used in urinary incontinence ( over active bladder) – Used in panic attacks, diabetic neuropathic pain • Bupropion – Inhibits DA and NA uptake has excitant effect – Used to reduce smoking Antidepressant uses • Depression (ECT may be needed in severely depressed and patients having suicidal tendency) • Bipolar affective disorders- TCAs and lithium or SSRIs with lithium or valporate/ lamotrigine • SSRIs with atypical antipsychotic in psychotic depression • Obsessive compulsive disorders (SSRI and Clomipramine) • Eating disorders • Anxiety disorders • Neuropathic pain • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children • Enuresis- (Imipramine 25mg at night) • Overactive bladder (stress incontinence)Duloxetine • Migraine prophylaxis (Amitriptyline) • Pruritus (Topical doxepin) Mania and MDI Treatment • Lithium • Carbamazepine • Sodium Valproate • Lamotrigine • Topiramate • Gabapentin • Olanzapine, aripiprazole, quetiapine Lithium inhibition of inositol monophosphatase decreased cerebral inositol concentrations suppresses inositol signaling inhibits glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), a multifunctional protein kinase. GSK-3 is a component of diverse intracellular signaling pathways.
