Anticonvulsants, Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors, and ii Tricyclic Antidepressants in Management of Neuropathic Pain iii Anticonvulsants, Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors, and Tricyclic Antidepressants in Management of Neuropathic Pain EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Issue Neuropathic pain places a burden on the public-payer health care system, the economy, and on patients’ quality of life. With the continued introduction of new treatments, there is uncertainty about whether currently recommended treatment options are sustainable, given scarce resources. An assessment is needed to identify optimal clinical- and cost-effective treatments of neuropathic pain. Objective The aim of this technology assessment was to assess the clinical and economic impact of first- line drugs in managing neuropathic pain. To achieve that aim, the research focused on answering the following research questions: • What are the clinical response rates from managing neuropathic pain with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), or anticonvulsants (ACs)? • What is the existing evidence of cost-effectiveness of using these drugs for managing neuropathic pain? • What drugs are cost-effective in managing neuropathic pain? • What would be the impact on public formulary drug budgets if cost-effective technologies were adopted? Clinical Review Methods: Two independent reviewers systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from inception to 2007. The references from retrieved studies and reviews of the topic were hand searched for further potential articles. Quality was assessed using Jadad’s method. The homogeneity of effects was determined using χ2 and I2. Data were combined using a random effects model. Results: We identified 13 studies (n=1,257) that evaluated the anticonvulsants (gabapentin and pregabalin), five that studied SNRIs (n=781), and 10 that focused on TCAs (n=249). One study evaluated TCAs and SNRIs. The average quality score was 81%±21%. For partial response rates, we analyzed 17 study arms (n=1,439), nine involving anticonvulsants (n=870), four that examined SNRIs (n=458), and four that studied TCAs (n=111). Rates for SNRIs were 66.0% [standard error (SE) 2.2%], for anticonvulsants they were 54.5% (SE 3.7%), and for TCAs they were 49.2% (SE 6.6%). For full response rates, 23 study arms were summarized. SNRIs had the higher response rate of 45.9% (SE 2.3%) and ACs

However, we have recently shown that ME is not a limiting factor in CPE. Low extraction efficiency may be improved by salt addition, but none of the salts used in CPE are suitable for LC–MS. It is the first time that the influences of a volatile salt—ammonium acetate (AA)—on the CPE extraction efficiency and ME have been studied. Our modification of CPE included also the use of ethanol instead of acetonitrile to reduce the sample viscosity and make the method more environmentally friendly. We developed and validated CPE–LC–MS for the simultaneous determination of 21 antidepressants in plasma that can be useful for clinical and forensic toxicology. The selected parameters included Triton X-114 concentration (1.5 and 6%, w/v), concentration of AA (0, 10, 20 and 30%, w/v), and pH (3.5, 6.8 and 10.2).

    ANTIDEPRESSANTS IN PLASMA BY LC/MS Code LC84010 This product fulfills all the requirements of Directive 98/79/ EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVD). The declaration of conformity (CE) is available upon request. Release N° 001 Antidepressants in plasma by LC/MS January 2020 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY INTRODUCTION Antidepressants are a class of medications used in emotional and mood disorders, which can evolve into psychosis and other symptoms such as anhedonia, self-devaluation, indecision, lack of appetite, hyperphagia, insomnia, hypersomnia, recurring thoughts of suicide or murder and somatization of pain. These drugs are divided into various classes according to their mechanism of action: - MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors); - TCA (tricyclic antidepressants); - SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors); - SNRI (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors); - NARI (noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors); - NDRI (dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors); - DRI (dopamine reuptake inhibitors); - SSRE (serotonergic drugs); - NASSA (specific noradrenergic and serotonergic antidepressants); - Melatonergic drugs. Given the large number of antidepressants on the market and their increasing use, there is a need for physicians to monitor their plasma concentration in order to avoid episodes of overdose. This method allows the determination of a number of antidepressant drugs and their main active metabolites: amitriptyline, nortriptyline, clomipramine, norclomipramine, desipramine, desvenlafaxine, doxepine, nordoxepine, duloxetine,

The motor manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are secondary to a dopamine deficiency in the striatum. However, the degenerative process in PD is not limited to the dopaminergic system and also affects serotonergic and noradrenergic neurons. Because they can increase monoamine levels throughout the brain, monoamine reuptake inhibitors (MAUIs) represent potential therapeutic agents in PD. However, they are seldom used in clinical practice other than as antidepressants and wake-promoting agents. This review article summarises all of the available literature on use of 50 MAUIs in PD. The compounds are divided according to their relative potency for each of the monoamine transporters.
