概覽

伊米帕明 (Imipramine) 是一種​三環類抗憂鬱藥 (TCA)​,在獸醫學中常作為仿單標示外使用。雖然主要用於行為問題(如分離焦慮),但其獨特的受體作用使其具有多種用途。

  • ​犬貓​中,常被用於治療​尿失禁​​猝倒症 (cataplexy)​
  • ​馬匹醫學​中,則用於控制​猝睡症 (narcolepsy)​及誘導藥理性射精。

​臨床要點:​伊米帕明是一種三級胺 TCA,在肝臟中會迅速代謝為具活性的二級胺代謝物​去甲伊米帕明 (desipramine)​。這種雙重作用擴大了其藥理範圍,同時影響血清素和正腎上腺素途徑。

作用機制

Imipramine and its active metabolite, desipramine, exert their effects through a complex, multi-receptor pharmacologic profile:

  • Monoamine Reuptake Inhibition: Blocks the presynaptic amine pump, preventing the reuptake of ​serotonin (5-HT)​ and ​norepinephrine (NE)​ → increases neurotransmitter concentrations in the synaptic cleft → modulates mood, arousal, and pain pathways.
  • Anticholinergic Activity: Antagonizes muscarinic receptors centrally and peripherally. This mechanism is primarily responsible for its efficacy in treating urinary incontinence (facilitating urine storage by relaxing the detrusor muscle) and its common side effects (dry mouth, tachycardia).
  • Alpha-Adrenergic Agonism/Antagonism: Exhibits complex interactions at alpha receptors, which may contribute to increasing internal urethral sphincter tone.
  • Antihistaminic (H1) Activity: Contributes to its significant sedative properties.

安全性與警告

禁忌症

  • Prior sensitivity to any tricyclic antidepressant
  • Concomitant use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within 14 days
  • Glaucoma
  • History of seizures
  • Urinary retention
  • Severe liver disease
  • Hypersensitivity to tricyclic antidepressants

不良反應

  • Sedation
  • Dry mouth
  • Constipation
  • Tachycardia
  • Hyperexcitability
  • Tremors
  • Seizures (CNS stimulation)
  • Bone marrow suppression
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Arrhythmias
  • Hypotension
  • Syncope
  • Increased appetite

注意事項

Use with extreme caution in patients with seizure disorders, as imipramine may lower the seizure threshold.

​Pregnancy Warning:​ There are isolated reports of limb reduction abnormalities (teratogenic potential). Restrict use in pregnant animals to situations where benefits clearly outweigh the risks (FDA Category D in humans).

​Nursing:​ Excreted into milk in low concentrations (milk:plasma ratio 0.4 to 1.5).

藥物相互作用

Anticholinergic agents

Additive anticholinergic effects; use cautiously

CimetidineMajor

May inhibit tricyclic antidepressant metabolism and increase the risk of toxicity

CNS Depressants

Additive CNS depressant effects; use cautiously

Levodopa

Imipramine may decrease levodopa oral absorption

Phenobarbital

May decrease tricyclic levels

Quinidine

Increased risk for QTc interval prolongation and tricyclic adverse effects

Rifampin

May decrease tricyclic blood levels

SSRIs (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline)

Increased risk for serotonin syndrome

Sympathomimetic agents

May increase the risk of cardiac effects (arrhythmias, hypertension, hyperpyrexia)

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (including amitraz, selegiline)

Concomitant use (within 14 days) is generally contraindicated due to risk of serotonin syndrome

Thyroid agents

May increase risk for cardiac arrhythmias

Cisapride

Increased risk for prolonged QT interval

Clonidine

Tricyclics may increase blood pressure

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)Major

High risk of fatal serotonin syndrome

ChlorphenamineMajor

Altered metabolism via cytochrome P450 2D6 competition/inhibition

Serotonergic agentsMajor

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome

TrazodoneModerate

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome (use only in exceptional cases with careful monitoring)

監測

  • Clinical efficacy
  • Adverse effects
  • ECG (Tricyclics can widen QRS complexes, prolong PR intervals, and invert or flatten T-waves)
  • Blood Glucose (Tricyclics may increase or decrease blood glucose levels)
  • Heart rate and rhythm (ECG) in susceptible patients
  • Signs of serotonin syndrome (agitation, tremors, hyperthermia, tachycardia) if used with other serotonergic drugs
  • Liver function tests (baseline and periodic)

藥物動力學

吸收

Rapidly absorbed from both the GI tract and parenteral injection sites. Peak levels occur within 1-2 hours after oral dosing.

分佈

Enters the CNS and maternal milk in levels equal to that found in maternal serum.

代謝

Metabolized in the liver to several metabolites, including the active metabolite desipramine.

過量

Overdosage with tricyclics can be life-threatening, leading to severe arrhythmias and cardiorespiratory collapse. Because the toxicities and therapies for treatment are complicated and controversial, it is highly recommended to contact a poison control center for further information in any potential overdose situation.

儲存與穩定性

Imipramine HCl tablets and pamoate capsules should be stored in tight, light-resistant containers, preferably at room temperature. The HCl injection should be stored at < 40°C; avoid freezing. Imipramine HCl will turn yellow to reddish on exposure. Slight discoloration will not affect potency, but marked changes in color are associated with a loss of potency.
