Repeated treatment with imipramine or amitriptyline increases the locomotor response of rats to (+)-amphetamine given into the nucleus accumbens.

Maj J, Wedzony K.

Effects of bilateral injections of (+)-amphetamine (5 micrograms/0.5 microliter) into the nucleus accumbens were investigated in rats treated repeatedly with imipramine or amitriptyline. Repeated but not acute administration of either drug enhanced the locomotor hyperactivity induced by (+)-amphetamine given 2 or 72 h after the last dose of antidepressant. The results indicate that the increased responsiveness of the mesolimbic dopaminergic system may be involved in the action of antidepressant drugs.

Repeated treatment with imipramine and amitriptyline reduced the immobility of rats in the swimming test by enhancing dopamine mechanisms in the nucleus accumbens.

Bilateral injections of 1 microgram sulpiride in the rat nucleus accumbens antagonized the effect of a seven-day treatment with 20 mg kg-1 day-1 imipramine or amitriptyline in the swimming test. The data suggest that dopamine mechanisms in the limbic regions of the rat brain are involved in the effect of repeated treatment with imipramine and amitriptyline in that test.

Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) protocol for monitoring tricyclic antidepressants on the COBAS-BIO centrifugal analyzer.

Ernst R, Williams L, Dalbey M, Collins C, Pankey S.

EMIT tests are available for quantitative determination of the tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline (AMI), nortriptyline (NORT), imipramine (IMI), and desipramine (DMI). An extraction step before analysis eliminates cross-reacting polar metabolites. Excellent correlation between EMIT and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been previously established. Most published protocols for using EMIT reagents on COBAS-BIO centrifugal analyzers were designed for analytes present at 1-50 mg/L in serum. AMI, NORT, IMI, and DMI are usually present at far less than 1 mg/L. We describe a COBAS-BIO EMIT protocol for assaying these analytes. Patient sample correlation between COBAS-BIO EMIT and EMIT-AutoLab were greater than 0.99. Between-run precision for single-point determinations was comparable to SYVA AutoLab performance [less than or equal to 11% at 40 micrograms/L AMI, NORT, IMI (80 micrograms/L DMI), and less than or equal to 4% at 200 micrograms/L AMI, NORT, IMI (400 micrograms/L DMI)]. With stored-curve updating, working reagents were usable for at least 14 days (AMI) or 23 days (DMI).
