Pharmacology

There is limited information regarding Maprotiline Pharmacology in the drug label.

Mechanism of Action

It exerts blocking effects at the following postsynaptic receptors:

  • Strong : alpha1
  • Moderate : 5-HT2, muscarinic, H1, D2
  • Weak : alpha2
  • Extremely weak : 5-HT1

The pharmacologic profile of Maprotiline explains its antidepressant, sedative, anxiolytic, sympatholytic, and anticholinergic activities. Additionally, it shows a strong antagonism against Reserpine-induced effects in animal studies, as do the other 'classical' antidepressants. Although Maprotiline behaves in most regards as a 'first generation antidepressant' it is commonly referred to as 'second generation antidepressant'.

Sedation has a fast onset (the same day), while remission of the depression itself is noted usually after a latent period of one to four weeks.

Maprotiline does not brighten up the mood in nondepressed persons.
