Imipramine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of imipramine, a compound with surface-active properties. It acts as a potent inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, making it effective in increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters. Imipramine hydrochloride exhibits a higher affinity for serotonin, leading to its pronounced anticholinergic side effects. The profile of imipramine hydrochloride involves blocking various receptors, including D-2 receptors, H1 receptors, alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenergic receptors, and muscarinic receptors. By interfering with these receptor systems, imipramine hydrochloride exerts its effects.
