Desipramine is primarily used for the treatment of depression.[8] It may also be useful to treat symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[9] Evidence of benefit is only in the short term, and with concerns of side effects its overall usefulness is not clear.[10] Desipramine at very low doses is also used to help reduce the pain associated with functional dyspepsia.[11] It has also been tried, albeit with little evidence of effectiveness, in the treatment of cocaine dependence.[12] Evidence for usefulness in neuropathic pain is also poor.[13]
Desipramine is particularly toxic in cases of overdose, compared to other antidepressants.[15] Any overdose or suspected overdose of desipramine is considered to be a medical emergency and can result in death without prompt medical intervention.
Values are Ki (nM). The smaller the value, the more strongly the drug binds to the site.
Desipramine is a very potent and relatively selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI), which is thought to enhance noradrenergicneurotransmission.[34][35] Based on one study, it has the highest affinity for the norepinephrine transporter (NET) of any other TCA,[17] and is said to be the most noradrenergic[36] and the most selective for the NET of the TCAs.[34] The observed effectiveness of desipramine in the treatment of ADHD was the basis for the development of the selective NRI atomoxetine and its use in ADHD.[34]
Desipramine has the weakest antihistamine and anticholinergic effects of the TCAs.[37][36][38] It tends to be slightly activating/stimulating rather than sedating, unlike most others TCAs.[36] Whereas other TCAs are useful for treating insomnia, desipramine can cause insomnia as a side effect due to its activating properties.[36] The drug is also not associated with weight gain, in contrast to many other TCAs.[36] Secondary amine TCAs like desipramine and nortriptyline have a lower risk of orthostatic hypotension than other TCAs,[39][40] although desipramine can still cause moderate orthostatic hypotension.[41]
Desipramine was developed by Geigy.[50] It first appeared in the literature in 1959 and was patented in 1962.[50] The drug was first introduced for the treatment of depression in 1963 or 1964.[50][51]
