Depression (from lat. deprimo - "push", "suppress") is a mental disorder

Depression (from lat. deprimo - "push", "suppress") is a mental disorder

characterized by a “depressive triad”:
Decrease in moods, inability to experience joy;
Thinking disorders, negative judgments;
Motor retardation
There are disturbances of a somatic nature (insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, palpitations, loss of libido, impotence) also.

pronounced ability to re-elevate depressed mood e.g., the tricyclic antidepressants;
Thymeretics, having a predominant activating effect on psychomotor drive, e g., monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

serotonin and norepinephrine.
Imipramine has marked antidepressant properties, a weak psychostimulating and sedative effects. I. blocks the presynaptic α₂-AR, serotonin (5-HT) and histamine receptors.

I. is metabolized in the liver and its metabolite (desmethylimipramine or

desipramine) is used in clinical practice as an antidepressant.
The therapeutic effect of I. sets in after 2-3 weeks.
Amitriptyline has marked sedative effect. It is connected with blockade of M-ChR and H1-R. It develops in 1-2 days.

the synapses of the reticular formation of the brain stem. It develops 5-7 days.
Symptoms: decreased inhibition, increased reaction rate, the recovery of facial expressions.
Antidepressants have analgesic, hypothermic, antiemetic effects also.

Side effects of tricyclic antidepressants: tachycardia, hypotension, mydriasis, increased intraocular pressure,

impaired accommodation, dry mouth, constipation, difficulty in urination, allergic reactions, jaundice, leukopenia.
They are contraindicated in glaucoma and hypertrophy of prostate gland.
They are not be combined with non-selective MAO inhibitors due to the risk of toxic effects. The interval between administration of 2 groups should not be less than 1.5-2 weeks.

Fluoxetine has high antidepressant activity. The effect develops gradually (1-4 weeks).


It has no sedative, anticholinergic and adrenergic action. Fluoxetine causes loss of appetite and weight reduction.

MAO is a mitochondrial enzyme involved in the oxidative deamination of

MAO is a mitochondrial enzyme involved in the oxidative deamination of

biogenic amines (Adr, NA, DA, 5-HT). Two isoenzyme forms of MAO have been identified.
MAO-A preferentially deaminates 5-HT and NA, and is inhibited by moclobemide.
MAO-B preferentially deaminates phenylethylamine and is inhibited by selegiline.
Dopamine is degraded equally by both isoenzymes.
Their distribution also differs. Peripheral adrenergic nerve endings, intestinal mucosa and human placenta contain predominantly MAO-A, while MAO-B predominates in certain areas (mainly serotonergic) of brain and in platelets.
Слайд 17

The active metabolites of nonselective MAO inhibitors inactivate the enzyme irreversibly.

The active metabolites of nonselective MAO inhibitors inactivate the enzyme irreversibly.

The drugs themselves stay in the body for relatively short periods, but their effects last for 2–3 weeks after discontinuation.
Return of MAO activity depends on synthesis of fresh enzyme; tissue monoamine levels remain elevated long after the drug has been largely eliminated.

These drugs inhibit a number of other enzymes and interact with

many food constituents and drugs (tricyclic antidepressants, Levodopa) .
Cheese reaction. Certain varieties of cheese, beer, wines, pickled meat and fish, contain large quantities of tyramine, dopa, etc. In MAO inhibited patients these indirectly acting sympathomimetic amines escape degradation in the intestinal wall and liver → reaching into systemic circulation they displace and release large amounts of NA from transmitter loaded adrenergic nerve endings → hypertensive crisis, cerebrovascular accidents.
Слайд 19

Moclobemide is a reversible and selective MAO-A inhibitor with short duration

Moclobemide is a reversible and selective MAO-A inhibitor with short duration

of action; full MAO activity is restored within 1–2 days of stopping the drug. Assignment does not require a special diet.

Pirazidolum is a tricyclic compound, a derivative of indole.
Antidepressant effect

of pirazidolum can occur together with sedative (on the background of anxiety, nervousness) or stimulating (on the background of depression) effects, depending on the patient’ condition.

enzyme PDE (phosphodiesterase).

It produces the following central effects, - psychotropic and non-psychotropic ones:


Psychotropic effect - psychostimulant effect (direct stimulating action on brain cortex): it increases mood, temporarily relieves tiredness and sleepiness, stimulates cognitive activity, increases mental and physical efficiency, motor activity and shortens reaction time.
Non-psychotropic ones (analeptic (life-enhancing) effect) –stimulates vagus, respiratory and vasomotor center of medulla oblongata and activates respiration and cardiovascular system.

Caffeine has both central and peripheral
action. These effects can be opposite.
1.Action

on the heart
Direct - stimulant due to direct action on
adenosine receptors of myocardium (increase in
rate and contractility)
Central - inhibitory (action on vagus center).
2.Action on vascular tone and BP
Direct myotropic spasmolytic action on
smooth muscles of blood vessels (inhibition of
PDE and increase in cAMP) - dilation of
vessels
Central action (activation of vasomotor
center) - narrowing of vessels
Слайд 32

Final Caffeine action on vessels is determined by their initial state

Final Caffeine action on vessels is determined by their initial state

and depends on their localization.
Coronary blood vessels, renal artery, skeletal muscle blood vessels are mainly dilated.
Cerebral blood vessels are narrowed more frequently. So Caffeine is effective in migraine.
Commonly Caffeine does not change or little increase normal BP.
It increases BP at hypotension.
High of doses can stimulate release of adrenalin from adrenals and increase BP.
