Biological activities

Doxepin is a moderately potent competitive inhibitor of serotonin uptake in human blood platelets in vitro, with an inhibitory constant Ki of about 200 nM. The inhibitory effect of doxepin is 6 times stronger in an artificial, protein-free medium than in diluted plasma, corresponding to about 85% protein binding. Doxepin is a psychotropic agent with tricyclic antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant formulated as a mixture of E-(trans) and Z-(cis) stereoisomers. Doxepin is a particularly effective H1-antihistamine in vitro. [1] The equilibrium dissociation constants (KDS) for doxepin at the human histamine H1 receptor and alpha-1 receptor is 0.24 and 24 nM, respectively.[2] Doxepin is well absorbed after oral administration and measurable amounts of doxepin and demethyl doxepin quickly appear in the blood. [3] In addition, doxepin also inhibits CYP2D6 activity in vivo.[4]

Protocols

In vivo: Doxepin hydrochloride is dissolved in water.[3]
