Description
Amitriptyline is an organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5. It has a role as an adrenergic uptake inhibitor, an antidepressant, an environmental contaminant, a xenobiotic and a tropomyosin-related kinase B receptor agonist. It is a tertiary amine and a carbotricyclic compound. It derives from a hydride of a dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene.
