TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Progress in the development of early-onset antidepressants JO - Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin A1 - Xue, R. A1 - Zhang, Y.-z. A1 - Zou, L.-b. SP - 1558 EP - 1561 VL - 24 IS - 12 N2 - Existing antidepressants exhibit delayed onset of action, which can decrease the compliance of the patients and enhance the risk of suicide. How to produce early-onset antidepressants with higher efficacy and lower adverse reactions has become a crucial point in the research of antidepressants. It has been demonstrated that selective 5-HT1A antagonist, α2 antagonist and 5-HT2A antagonist can accelerate the response of classic antidepressants. Furthermore,5-HT/NE dual reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT/NE/DA triple reuptake inhibitor can also produce early onset of action. Here several reasons for the delayed onset of action and the progress in the development of early-onset antidepressants are reviewed.
