Reagents for research for depression
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA)

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter present in the brain, small intestines, platelets, etc. It is said to involve in emotional control such as lifting and suppression as well as sleep and wake, and dieting. Noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter transmitting excitement and it is distributed in sympathetic nerve terminals and central nervous system. It is secreted in the brain due to stress such as pain and fear and is said to induce the fight or flight response.
It is considered that insufficiencies of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain induce depressive symptoms.
Tricyclic antidepressants bind to amine transporters, thereby inhibit serotonin and noradrenaline reuptakes in the brain. Consequently, the serotonin and noradrenaline concentrations in the synaptic gaps increase exhibiting antidepressant activity. Tricyclic antidepressants also block monoamine transporters other than serotonin or noradrenaline.
