Metabolite Identification
Common NameCitalopram aldehyde
DescriptionCitalopram aldehyde belongs to the class of organic compounds known as isocoumarans. Isocoumarans are compounds containing the coumaran skeleton, which consists of a benzene ring fused to a 1,3-dihydrofuran ring. Citalopram is an antidepressant drug of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. Citalopram aldehyde is a metabolite of citalopram. Citalopram aldehyde is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Citalopram aldehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, citalopram aldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, citalopram aldehyde and dimethylamine can be biosynthesized from citalopram; which is catalyzed by the enzymes amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a and amine oxidase [flavin-containing] b. In addition, citalopram aldehyde and methylammonium can be biosynthesized from N-desmethylcitalopram through the action of the enzymes amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a and amine oxidase [flavin-containing] b. In humans, citalopram aldehyde is involved in citalopram metabolism pathway. It has U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to treat major depression, and is prescribed off-label for a number of anxiety conditions.
