Novas estratégias terapêuticas para o tratamento da depressão: uma visão da química medicinal

Abstract: Depression is a widespread humor disturbance promoted mainly by depletion of biogenic neurotransmitter amines involved in the CNS synapses. Effective drug treatments for depression have been available for more than forty years. Despite its remarkable structural diversity, this paper discuss under the medicinal chemistry point of view, all different classes of "monoamine based" antidepressant drugs, emphasizing the rational design, structure-activity relationships (SAR), biotransformation and physicochemical pr… Show more

“…1,2 In addition, several members of this class have shown promise for the treatment of alcoholism, chronic pain and eating disorders such as obesity and bulimia.

“…[3][4][5] Fluoxetine (1) (Figure 1), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), is widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of depression. In fact, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and particularly fluoxetine (1), have become first line drugs in the pharmacotherapy of patients with depression, whereas tricyclic antidepressants are now considered as second-line agents. This is because the drug possesses tolerability and safety advantages over the tricyclic agents.…”
