Tetracyclic Antidepressant Causing Altered Biodistribution of MIBG
We present the case of a 61-year-old man who underwent I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy based on clinical suspicion of pheochromocytoma. The study was nondiagnostic secondary to diffuse muscle uptake. On review of his medications, the patient was found to be taking mirtazapine, a tetracyclic antidepressant (Remeron). We hypothesize that the MIBG biodistribution was altered by m...
متن کاملEfficacy and side effects of mianserin, a tetracyclic antidepressant.
Antidepressant drugs have been in extensive use for over 20 years. Initially 2 groups of compounds, the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) and tricyclic compounds based on the imipramine configuration were widely used. In the early 1960's after a few years ofwide use, interest in the MAOI group fell following the recognition of a serious adverse effect. Blackwell (1963) described the occurrenc...
متن کاملBiodistribution of post-therapeutic versus diagnostic (131)I-MIBG scans in children with neuroblastoma.
BACKGROUND To evaluate the biodistribution of therapeutic (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and assess the sensitivity of diagnostic versus therapeutic (131)I-MIBG scans to detect metastatic disease. PROCEDURE This retrospective study included 44 diagnostic and post-therapy scans (PTS) in 18 children with neuroblastoma treated with (131)I-MIBG (2.0-33.1 GBq). The findings of diagnostic sc...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of a Novel Non Antibiotic: The Tetracyclic Antidepressant Drug Mianserin
The use of antibiotics and antibacterial chemotherapeutics has become more and more restricted due to the emergence of drug resistant bacteria which makes some of the most broad spectrum antibiotics ineffective. This resulted in search for antimicrobial activity in pharmacologically diverse groups of drugs and the most active compounds were found to the tricyclic phenothiazines and also those t...
متن کاملSynthesis of Chlorinated Tetracyclic Compounds and Testing for Their Potential Antidepressant Effect in Mice.
The synthesis of the tetracyclic compounds 1-(4,5-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracen-11-yl)-N-methylmethanamine (5) and 1-(1,8-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracen-11-yl)-N-methylmethanamine (6) as a homologue of the anxiolytic and antidepressant drugs benzoctamine and maprotiline were described. The key intermediate aldehydes (3) and (4) were successfully synthesized via a [4 + 2...
