Doxepin is extensively metabolized to N-desmethyldoxepin which is a biologically active metabolite and other inactive metabolites. The first-pass metabolism accounts for 55-87% of the administered dose. After, the secondary metabolism is driven by the transformation of N-desmethyldoxepin to its glucuronide conjugates. The main metabolic enzymes involved in the transformation of doxepin are the members of the cytochrome P450 family, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 with minor involvement of CYP1A2 and CYP2C9.

The mechanism of action of doxepin is not completely understood. It is thought that like amitriptyline, doxepin enhances the actions of norepinephrine and serotonin by blocking their reuptake at the neuronal membrane. However, doxepin weakly inhibits the reuptake of dopamine. Doxepin may also act on histamine H<sub>1</sub>-receptors, resulting in sedative effects, and β-adrenergic receptors. It is also an antagonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptors, alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and muscarinic cholinergic receptors.
Liver test abnormalities have been reported to occur in up to 16% of patients being treated with tricyclic antidepressants, but elevations are uncommonly above 3 times the upper limit of normal. The aminotransferase abnormalities are usually mild, asymptomatic and transient, reversing even with continuation of medication. Rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury have been reported due to doxepin, but the number of cases have been too few to characterize the clinical features. Recurrent jaundice and marked aminotransferase elevations with repeated exposures to doxepin has been reported. Most cases have been mild and deaths from acute liver failure or chronic injury have not been reported.

◉ Summary of Use during Lactation:Because of its sedating potential, active metabolite, presence in infant serum, two reports of adverse effects in breastfed infants, and only one report of use without apparent adverse reactions, doxepin is a poor choice and other agents are preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. A safety scoring system finds doxepin to be not recommended during breastfeeding.
Maternal use of topical doxepin cream is unlikely to pose a problem for a breastfed infant as long as it is applied away from the breasts so that the infant cannot ingest the drug directly.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants:One infant was breastfed (extent not stated) over a 2-month period during maternal use of doxepin 150 mg at bedtime, beginning at 30 days postpartum. The infant experienced no apparent adverse reactions.
One infant had an adverse reaction that was probably caused by doxepin in breastmilk. An 8-week old breastfed infant was found pale, limp, somnolent and almost not breathing 4 days after the maternal dosage had been increased from 10 mg daily to 25 mg three times daily. The infant returned to normal 24 hours after discontinuing breastfeeding.
A 9-day-old breastfed infant had poor sucking and swallowing, hypotonia, vomiting, and weight loss. The reaction was probably caused by doxepin in breastmilk. The infant's mother was taking 35 mg of doxepin at bedtime daily.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk:An observational study looked at outcomes of 2859 women who took an antidepressant during the 2 years prior to pregnancy. Compared to women who did not take an antidepressant during pregnancy, mothers who took an antidepressant during all 3 trimesters of pregnancy were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding upon hospital discharge. Mothers who took an antidepressant only during the third trimester were 75% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge. Those who took an antidepressant only during the first and second trimesters did not have a reduced likelihood of breastfeeding at discharge. The antidepressants used by the mothers were not specified.
A retrospective cohort study of hospital electronic medical records from 2001 to 2008 compared women who had been dispensed an antidepressant during late gestation (n = 575) to those who had a psychiatric illness but did not receive an antidepressant (n = 1552) and mothers who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 30,535). Women who received an antidepressant were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge than women without a psychiatric diagnosis, but no less likely to be breastfeeding than untreated mothers with a psychiatric diagnosis. None of the mothers were taking doxepin.
In a study of 80,882 Norwegian mother-infant pairs from 1999 to 2008, new postpartum antidepressant use was reported by 392 women and 201 reported that they continued antidepressants from pregnancy. Compared with the unexposed comparison group, late pregnancy antidepressant use was associated with a 7% reduced likelihood of breastfeeding initiation, but with no effect on breastfeeding duration or exclusivity. Compared with the unexposed comparison group, new or restarted antidepressant use was associated with a 63% reduced likelihood of predominant, and a 51% reduced likelihood of any breastfeeding at 6 months, as well as a 2.6-fold increased risk of abrupt breastfeeding discontinuation. Specific antidepressants were not mentioned.
Doxepin is moderately absorbed following oral ingestion with a bioavailability of 30%. The median peak concentration of doxepin ranges from 8.8-45.8 ng/ml and it is achieved 3.5 hours after initial administration. Its absorption is increased with concomitant administration of a high-fat meal.
The elimination profile of doxepin is presented as biphasic. It is excreted in the urine mainly in the form of glucuronide conjugates. Less than 3% of a doxepin dose is excreted in the urine as parent compound or nordoxepin.

The synthetic application of new protocol was extended to the synthesis of known tricyclic drug doxepin as well as a small library of oxepin based derivatives. For the first time, the obtained dibenzo[b,e]oxepinone derivatives were evaluated for their biological activities on the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as an effective and cost-efficient model
The photochemical stability of <i>cis-</i> and <i>trans</i>- isomers of tricyclic neuroleptic drugs

Abstract
The irradiation of the tranquillizers flupenthixol, clopenthixol and chlorprothixene has been found to induce rapid cis-trans isomerization. The composition of the photostationary mixture is not that of the batch drug and hence this process may affect the activity. Further decomposition to a thioxanthone derivative occurs rapidly in the presence of air. Exclusion of oxygen, however, does not prevent further degradation and a slower secondary isomerization is observed on prolonged irradiation. Doxepin and dothiepin also undergo analogous reactions but the isomerizations are much slower and the oxidative degradation yields many products.
