Treatment of Social Phobia with Antidepressants Antidepressants for Social Phobia Treatment of Social Phobia With Antidepressants Franklin R. Schneier, M.D. This article reviews evidence for the utility of antidepressant medications in the treatment of social phobia.

MAOIs to use after other treatments have been found ineffective. Reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (RIMAs) hold promise as safer alternatives to MAOIs, but RIMAs may be less effective and are currently unavailable in the United States. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), of which paroxetine has been the best studied in social phobia to date, have recently emerged as a first- line treatment for the generalized subtype of social phobia. The SSRIs are well tolerated and consis- tently have been shown to be efficacious in controlled trials.

    Insights into the Mechanisms of Action of the MAO Inhibitors Phenelzine and Tranylcypromine: A Review Glen B. Baker, Ph.D., Ronald T. Coutts, Ph.D., D.Sc., Kevin F. McKenna, M.D., and Rhonda L. Sherry-McKenna, B.Sc. Neurochemical Research Unit, Department of Psychiatry and Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta Submitted: July 10, 1992 Accepted: October 7, 1992 Although the non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors phenelzine and tranylcypromine have been used for many years, much still remains to be understood about their mechanisms of action. Other factors, in addition to the inhibition of monoamine oxidase and the subsequent elevation of brain levels of the catecholamines and 5-hydroxytryptamine, may contribute to the overall pharma- cological profiles ofthese drugs. This review also considers the effects on brain levels of amino acids and trace amines, uptake and release of neurotransmitter amines at nerve terminals, receptors for amino acids and amines, and enzymes other than monoamine oxidase, including enzymes involved in metabolism of other drugs. The possible contributions of metabolism and stereochemistry to the actions of these monoamine oxidase inhibitors are discussed.

  • The Relationship of Alcohol Dependence to Monoamine Oxidase A
    The Relationship of Alcohol Dependence to Monoamine Oxidase A by Brittany Matthews A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology University of Toronto © Copyright by Brittany Matthews 2015 The Relationship of Alcohol Dependence to Monoamine Oxidase A Brittany Matthews Doctor of Philosophy Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Background: Alcohol dependence (AD) is a substance abuse disorder characterized by compulsive alcohol seeking and intake, combined with a negative emotional state during withdrawal. AD is also associated with markers of apoptosis and/or oxidative stress across multiple organs. Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) is an important enzyme that participates in the cellular response to oxidative stress, and is elevated during major depressive episodes, somewhat more robustly in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). It is unknown whether MAO-A levels are abnormal in AD. The current studies examine whether: i) MAO-A level is elevated in the PFC and ACC in AD in humans. ii) Chronic harman exposure, a MAO-A inhibitor found in alcoholic beverages, upregulates MAO-A in the PFC and ACC of rodents. iii) Chronic alcohol exposure upregulates MAO-A in the PFC and ACC of rodents. Methods: i) Sixteen participants with AD underwent [ 11 C]-harmine positron emission tomography to determine MAO-A distribution volume (VT), an index of MAO-A level. ii ii) Rats were treated with harman for 21 days (0, 2, 5, 15 mg/kg/day) via osmotic minipump. MAO-A protein and activity levels, measured with Western blot and a spectrophotometric assay respectively, were assessed immediately and after 8-hour withdrawal.

Sharma, Vipin Kumar Garg, Nitin Kumar, Rupesh Dudhe Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Meerut Institute of Engineering & Technology, Baghpat Bypass Crossing, Delhi- Haridwar Highway, NH-58, Meerut-250005 (UP) [email protected], Mob. No. 91-9456470704 Summary The role of the monoamines, serotonin in mental illnesses including depression is well recognized. All antidepressant drugs in clinical use increase acutely the availability of these monoamines at the synapse either by inhibiting their neuronal reuptake, inhibiting their intraneuronal metabolism, or increasing their release by blocking the α2 auto- and heteroreceptors on the monoaminergic neuron. This acute increase in the amount of the monoamines at the synapse has been found to induce long-term adaptive changes in the monoamine systems that end up in the desensitization of the inhibitory auto- and heteroreceptors including the presynaptic α2 and 5-HT1B receptors and the somatodendritic 5-HT1A receptors located in certain brain regions. The desensitization of these inhibitory receptors would result in higher central monoaminergic activity that coincides with the appearance of the therapeutic response. Two types of MAO, i.e. type A (MAO-A) and type B (MAO-B).MAO-A oxidizes noradrenaline and serotonin; and MAO-B, mainly β- phenylethylamine. In the human brain, MAO-A exists in catecholaminergic neurons, but MAO-B is found in serotonergic neurons and glial cells. MAO-A and MAO-B may be closely related to various neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and Parkinson’s disease, and inhibitors of them are the subject of drug development for such diseases.

Abstract Examines the current state of knowledge of drug-impaired driving. The review covers a broad range of related research, including the detection and measurement of drugs in drivers, experimental research on the effect of drugs on the performance driving-related tasks, drug prevalence in various populations of drivers, drug-crash risk, and countermeasures for drug-impaired driving. The review covers scientific literature published since 1980. 17. Key Words 18.
