Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 significantly influence the efficacy and safety of some drugs, which might cause adverse effects and therapeutic failure. We aimed at investigating the role of CYP2D6 in the metabolism of citalopram and identifying the effect of 24 CYP2D6 allelic variants we found in Chinese Han population on the metabolism of citalopram in vitro. These CYP2D6 variants expressed by insect cells system were incubated with 10-1000 μM citalopram for 30 min at 37 °C and the reaction was terminated by cooling to -80 °C immediately. Citalopram and its metabolites were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The intrinsic clearance (Vmax/Km) values of the variants toward citalopram metabolites were significantly altered, 38-129% for demethylcitalopram and 13-138% for citalopram N-oxide when compared with CYP2D6?1. Most of the tested rare alleles exhibited significantly decreased values due to increased Km and/or decreased Vmax values. We conclude that recombinant system could be used to investigate the enzymes involved in drug metabolism and these findings suggest that more attention should be paid to subjects carrying these CYP2D6 alleles when administering citalopram in the clinic.

The serotonin transporter (SERT) is the primary target for antidepressant drugs. The existence of a high affinity primary orthosteric binding site (S1) and a low affinity secondary site (S2) has been described, and their relation to antidepressant pharmacology has been debated. Herein, structural modifications to the N, 4, 5, and 4′ positions of (±)citalopram (1) are reported. All of the analogues were SERT-selective and demonstrated that steric bulk was tolerated at the SERT S1 site, including two dimeric ligands (15 and 51). In addition, eight analogues were identified with similar potencies to S-1 for decreasing the dissociation of [3H]S-1 from the S1 site via allosteric modulation at S2. Both dimeric compounds had similar affinities for the SERT S1 site (Ki = 19.7 and 30.2 nM, respectively), whereas only the N-substituted analogue, 51, was as effective as S-1 in allosterically modulating the binding of [3H]S-1 via S2.

, p. 901 - 908 (2007/10/03)
An improved and efficient synthesis of N-desmethylcitalopram (2) and N,N-didesmethylcitalopram (3) is presented. The method involved N-demethylation of citalopram (1) using 1-chloroethyl chloroformate to give 2 in 87% yield. Synthesis of 3 was accomplished by alkylation of 8 with 1-(3-bromopropyl)-2,2,5, 5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane (9). Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The present invention describes an improved process for the preparation of extremely pure 1-(4'-Fluorophenyl)-1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-5-phthalanecarbonitrile and its bromide salt (citalopram hydrobromide), which is a well known antidepressant. Other aspect of the invention are isolation of crystalline (4-Bromo-2-hydroxymethyl)phenyl-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)methanol (Bromodiol) and conversion of desmethylcitalopram which is formed during the cyanide exchange reaction, to Citalopram by heating with a mixture of formaldhyde and formic acid in chloroform. The resulting citalopram is conventionally purified using extraction methodology.
