Have you got a similar link for TCA's?
I understand that Imipramine was the original & the rest are variations.
eg.
Desipramine is Desmethyl-Imipramine.
Clomipramine is Imipramine with a Clorine atom attached.
Doxepin is Amitriptyline with an Oxygen atom attached.
Dothepin is Amitriptyline with a Sulphur atom attached.
Nortiptyline is Desmethyl-Amitriptyline.Do you know what was done to Imipramine to make Amitriptyline?
Cheers,
