:(-)-Mianserin
Description:
(-)-Mianserin is a tetracyclic antidepressant primarily used in the treatment of major depressive disorder. It is characterized by its unique chemical structure, which includes a dibenzocycloheptene core. The compound exhibits a chiral center, with the (-)-enantiomer being the biologically active form. (-)-Mianserin functions primarily as an antagonist at various neurotransmitter receptors, including serotonin (5-HT2) and norepinephrine receptors, which contributes to its antidepressant effects. Additionally, it has antihistaminic properties, which can lead to sedation, making it useful for patients with insomnia associated with depression. The substance is typically administered orally and has a moderate half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing in many cases. Common side effects may include sedation, weight gain, and dry mouth, among others. Due to its pharmacological profile, (-)-Mianserin is considered a second-line treatment option, particularly for patients who do not respond to first-line antidepressants. As with any medication, it is essential to use (-)-Mianserin under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
