Amitriptyline
Catalog No. A30083

Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that primarily inhibits the serotonin transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET), enhancing synaptic levels of serotonin and norepinephrine. With a Ki value of 3.45 nM for SERT and 13.3 nM for NET, Amitriptyline demonstrates significant antidepressant activity. Additionally, it exhibits agonistic properties at α2A adrenergic and TrkA/TrkB receptors, contributing to its analgesic and neurotrophic effects. Furthermore, Amitriptyline interacts with various receptors, including muscarinic cholinergic and H1 receptors, which may lead to a variety of side effects, while its ability to block sodium channels and hERG potassium channels raises concerns regarding cardiotoxicity.
