opipramol
Opipramol (Insidon, Pramolan, Ensidon, Oprimol) is an antidepressant and anxiolytic used in Germany and other European countries. Although it is a member of the tricyclic antidepressants, opipramol's primary mechanism of action is much different in comparison.〔 Most TCAs act as reuptake inhibitors, but opipramol does not, and instead acts as a sigma receptor agonist, among other properties.〔 It is an iminostilbene derivative, belonging to dibenzazepine group. Opipramol was developed by Schindler and Blattner in 1961.
==Medical uses==
Opipramol is typically used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and somatoform disorders.〔〔 Its anxiolysis becomes prominent after only one to two weeks of chronic administration. Upon first commencing treatment, opipramol is rather sedating in nature due to its antihistamine properties, but this effect becomes less prominent with time.
Opipramol's sigma-1 agonistic effects likely impart potent antitussive effects, many other sigma-1 agonists (ex. codeine, hydrocodone, and dextromethorphan) are used for this purpose.
