Dothiepin is a tricyclic inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. Dothiepin is described to have equipotent serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition activity. It inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine from the synaptic cleft back into the presynaptic neuron. This inhibition leads to an increased concentration of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic gap, allowing them to exert a greater effect on post-synaptic receptors. Beyond its effects on serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, Dothiepin also exhibits affinity for adrenergic, histamine, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which can contribute to its overall biochemical effects.
