SMILES: CC(CN1C2=CC=CC=C2CCC3=CC=CC=C31)CN(C)C

IUPAC name: 3-(5,6-dihydrobenzo[b][1]benzazepin-11-yl)-N,N,2-trimethylpropan-1-amine

ChEBI definition: A dibenzoazepine that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)-2-methylpropyl group at the nitrogen atom. It is used as an antidepressant.

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): antidepressant.

Other ChEBI roles (chemical / environmental): environmental contaminant, xenobiotic.

Also known as: 7162 RP, IL 6001, IL-6001, Trimeproprimine, Trimipramina, Trimipramine, trimipramine, SID90341093, SID50111256, TRIMIPRAMINE

Parent form; salt/anhydrous children: CHEMBL1200948

Patent coverage: 5,114 distinct patent families (19,638 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 2 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 19,585 (100%) of the total. Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.
