Cyprolidol is an experimental antidepressant drug that was developed by Neisler Laboratories in the 1960s.^[1] It was never approved for human use.

In preclinical studies, cyprolidol demonstrated antidepressant effects in animal models that were qualitatively similar to those of imipramine, a well-established tricyclic antidepressant.^[2]^[3] However, clinical observations indicated that cyprolidol was less effective than imipramine in humans.^[4] Pharmacologically, cyprolidol also exhibited cardiovascular effects, such as blocking the tyramine-induced rise in blood pressure in anesthetized dogs while potentiating this response in conscious dogs, suggesting a complex interaction with adrenergic systems.^[5]

Its synthesis is similar to tranylcypromine a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.

Synthesis

The cyclopropanation reaction between 4-vinylpyridine [100-43-6] (1) and the carbene from decomposition of ethyl diazoacetate [623-73-4] (2) would give ethyl 2-pyridin-4-ylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate [4903-93-9] (3). For steric reasons, the trans isomer would be the thermodynamically favoured racemer, although epimerization may be needed if this was not the kinetically formed product. The Grignard reaction of two equivalents of phenylmagnesium bromide [100-58-3] (4) to the electrophilic ester completes the synthesis of cyprolidol (5).
