Application

Antalarmin hydrochloride has been used:
  • to study its effect on stress-induced tryptophan hydroxylase 2 activity
  • to study the anxiogenic effects of corticotropin-releasing factor 1 (CRF1) activation
  • to analyze the therapeutic effect of blocking corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) signaling in treating social stress-induced depression

Antalarmin hydrochloride is a non-peptide CRF1 corticotropin-releasing factor receptor antagonist.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Antalarmin serves as a non steroidal inhibitor of pregnancy even during the early stages. It is known to delay parturition. It also prevents the development of gastric ulcers which arises in response to stress.
Antalarmin hydrochloride is a non-peptide CRF1 corticotropin-releasing factor receptor antagonist.

Several recent studies on corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) have suggested that this neuropeptide may play a role in depression. Consequently, CRF receptor antagonists have been proposed as potential new agents for the treatment of this condition. This study investigated the effects
