General description

Clomipramine hydrochloride is an antiobsessional drug. It has anticholinergic activity in vitro and in vivo. Clomipramine is used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder and panic disorder.

Application

Clomipramine hydrochloride has been used to manipulate serotonin (5-HT) mechanisms. It has also been used to study its role on bone mass.
Clomipramine hydrochloride has been used:
  • to study its effect on human serum albumin using UV-visible, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) techniques
  • to block itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (ITCH) ubiquitin transthiolation
  • as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor
  • as a homologous to E6AP C terminus (HECT) E3 ligase inhibitor

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clomipramine hydrochloride (CLP) is a amphiphilic drug, with two benzene rings in its structure. It exhibits anti-depressant property by restoring the equilibrium of certain natural materials in the human being. CLP acts as a potential therapeutic for obsessive compulsive disorder.
Tricyclic antidepressant; inhibits serotonin and norepinephrine transporters.
