Opipramol (Ensidon) is an atypical tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). Opipramol acts primarily as a sigma (σ) receptor agonist and can potently interact with sigma recognition sites with a K i value of 50 nM. Opipramol can be used for the research of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

IC50 & Target[1][2]
Ki: 50 nM (σ receptor); IC50: 5.5 μM ([H] DA).
体外研究(In Vitro)
Opipramol can potently interact with sigma recognition sites with a Ki value of 50 nM. Opipramol inhibit the uptake of [H] DA in crude synaptosomal preparations with an IC50 value of 5.5 μM. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
体内研究(In Vivo)
Opipramol (i.p.; 5-50 mg/kg) increases dopamine release in vivo. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
