Azaphen free base
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Azaphen free base (Azafen free base) is an orally active tricyclic antidepressant that inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and monoamines, regulates the 5-HT2c receptor, and exerts sedative, antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. Azaphen free base increases the bioavailability of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, does not block muscarinic receptors or affect monoamine oxidase activity, and binds to the human serotonin transporter via salt bridges, π-stacking, π-cation and hydrophobic interactions. Azaphen free base can be used in studies related to depression.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Azaphen free base binds preferentially to the allosteric (S2) site of hSERT with minimal conformational change from its solid-state structure, stabilized by multiple key interactions including a salt bridge, pi-stacking, and pi-cation interactions[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
Azaphen free base exhibits pronounced antidepressant activity in the Normura forced swimming test with significant reductions in depressive state duration[2].
