Summary
Monoamine-based strategies and targets have provided a useful variety of therapeutic agents with beneficial activity in the treatment of depression. However, this approach has some limitations, including a delayed onset of efficacy and treatment resistance. As a result, there is significant interest in non-monoamine targets and their potential as antidepressants. This search for new treatment modalities has been aided by better understanding of the neurochemical pathways involved in mood. This chapter will review medicinal chemistry advances in a selection of non-monoamine targets of current interest in the field.
