Description
(extracted from source data)
PHARMACODYNAMICS Agomelatine resynchronises circadian rhythms in animal models of delayed sleep phase syndrome and other circadian rhythm disruptions. It increases noradrenaline and dopamine release specifically in the frontal cortex and has no influence on the extracellular levels of serotonin. Agomelatine has shown an antidepressant-like effect in animal depression models, (learned helplessness test, despair test, and chronic mild stress) circadian rhythm desynchronisation, and in stress and anxiety models. In humans, agomelatine has positive phase shifting properties; it induces a phase advance of sleep, body temperature decline and melatonin onset. Controlled studies in humans have shown that agomelatine is as effective as the SSRI antidepressants paroxetine and sertraline in the treatment of major depression
INDICATION Agomelatine is indicated to treat major depressive episodes in adults.
DESCRIPTION Agomelatine is a melatonergic (i.e. it acts as a a melatonin receptor agonist) antidepressant, devoid of the side-effects caused by SSRI, SNRI and tricyclic antidepressants. The drug also has low affinity for 5-HT2C receptors. (GtoPdb)
DESCRIPTION The hydrochloride salt form of Agomelatine that is an antidepressant agent for acting as an antagonism of the 5-HT2C receptor. It is also an antagonist of 5-HT2B receptors. IC50: 6.2 and 6.6 for 5-HT2c and 5-HT2b respectively (pKi ). (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
DESCRIPTION Agomelatine L(+)-Tartaric acid is classified as a norepinephrine-dopamine disinhibitor (NDDI) due to its antagonism of the 5-HT2C receptor. It is used as an antidepressant drug. It has been approved by FDA in October 2011. It has toxicities, such as Hyperhidrosis, Abdominal pain, Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhoea, Constipation, Back pain, Fatigue and so on.
