Product Data
Biological target:
Levoprotiline is an antidepressive agent.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
The effects of repeated administration of levoprotiline, a novel type of tetracyclic antidepressant on histamine H1, muscarinic acetylcholine and alpha 1-adrenergic receptors and the response of phosphoinositide hydrolysis (PI) stimulated by histamine in the cortex of the rat brain were investigated. This demonstrates that the repeated treatment with levoprotiline has prominent action on the regulation of histamine H1 receptors and PI response coupling to histamine H1 receptors in vivo.
