Milk maprotiline levels after a single oral dose of 100 mg have been reported to have a peak milk level at about 8 hours after a dose at about 110 mcg/L. During a regimen of 50 mg
Maprotiline Prevents Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Rats Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease caused by increased pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, eventually leading to right heart failure until death. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) has been regarded as an attractive drug target in treating PAH. In this study, we discovered that maprotiline, a tetracyclic antidepressant, bound to the full-length recombinant sGC with a high affinity ( = 0.307 μM). Further study demonstrated that maprotiline concentration-dependently inhibited the proliferation of hypoxia-induced human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Moreover, in a monocrotaline (MCT) rat model of PAH, maprotiline (ip, 10 mg/kg once daily) reduced pulmonary
A Study of Maprotiline in Combination With Tamoxifen and Temozolomide for Recurrent Glioblastoma The main purpose of this study is to find out the highest possible dose of maprotiline that can be given safely in combination with temozolomide and tamoxifen. The main purpose of this study is to find out the highest possible dose of maprotiline that can be given safely in combination with temozolomide and tamoxifen. Temozolomide is approved to treat glioblastoma and the investigator wants to understand what doses are safe to use. Tamoxifen has been used for many years to treat breast cancer and there have also been studies combining it with temozolomide for the treatment of brain tumors that have shown the combination to be safe. In this study, the investigator will be adding maprotiline
