Dearomative ipso-iodocyclization of 4-(1-ethoxyethoxy)-N-propargylanilines leading to 1-azaspiro[4.5]deca-3,6,9-trien-8-ones has been developed. This reaction is characterized by the yield of fewer toxic byproducts and is conducted by a more user-friendly protocol compared to other reported methods. The synthetic application of these spiro products was demonstrated by transformation of the iodo component into other functionalities. The desymmetrization of the resulting cyclohexadienones was also achieved by the diastereoselective aza-Michael addition of internal amino acid moieties to yield tricyclic piperazine scaffolds with two newly formed contiguous chiral centers.

Background: Given the importance of achieving optimal therapeutical concentration in patients treated with antidepressants, this study investigates a novel technique for the simultaneous determination of trazodone (TRZ) and doxepin (DOX) in human plasma and serum samples for the first time.

Results: To achieve simultaneous determination of two antidepressants, TRZ and DOX, a novel detection system was designed: a non-enzymatic voltammetric biosensor based on boron-reduced graphene oxide/manganese oxide nanoparticles (GCE/B-rGO/MnO NPs). The detection was accomplished after pre-concentration and extraction trace amounts of the analytes using the thin film-solid phase microextraction (TF-SPME) technique, which employed polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinyl acetate/copper oxide nanoparticles (PVA/PVAc/CuO NPs) electrospun nanofibers.

Depression is a debilitating mental illness that has a significant impact on an individual's psychological, social, and physical life. Multiple factors, such as genetic factors and abnormalities in neurotransmitter levels, contribute to the development of depression. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, and atypical and new-generation antidepressants are well-known drug classes.

Background: Consensus-guidelines for prescribing antidepressants recommend that clinicians should be vigilant to match antidepressants to patient's medical history but provide no specific advice on which antidepressant is best for a given medical history.

Aims Of The Study: For patients with major depression who are in psychotherapy, this study provides an empirically derived guideline for prescribing antidepressant medications that fit patients' medical history.

Methods: This retrospective, observational, cohort study analyzed a large insurance database of 3,678,082 patients.

Effect of lipid emulsion on neuropsychiatric drug-induced toxicity: A narrative review.

Medicine (Baltimore)

March 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju-si, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • Lipid emulsion has been found to be effective in treating serious cardiovascular issues caused by toxic levels of certain neuropsychiatric drugs, particularly those that are lipophilic (fat-soluble).
  • A study analyzed case reports to evaluate how lipid emulsions impacted patient recovery based on the Glasgow Coma Scale and corrected QT intervals, focusing on specific drugs like amitriptyline and trazodone.
  • Results showed that 98.3% of patients improved with lipid emulsion treatment, although more research is necessary to fully understand its effects and optimize its use.
