The solution conformations and dynamics of the antidepressant drug trimipramine maleate were investigated by 'H and I3C NMR spectroscopy. Of particular interest was an observed non-equivalence of the N-methyl groups in the aliphatic sidechain of the drug, which is present in both 'H and I3C spectra

Abstract
The conformational behaviour of 7‐[(3‐chloro‐6,11‐dihydro‐6‐methyldibenzo[c, f][1,2]thiazepin‐11‐yl)amino] heptanoic acid 5,5 dioxide (tianeptine), a new antidepressant drug, was studied by means of ^1^H and ^13^C NMR. The ring skeleton exhibits two distinct conformations at low temperature. The conformational exchange is still restricted at room temperature, particularly in the solvents D~2~O and CDCl~3~, where significant aggregation of the molecules occurs. The side‐chain seems to adopt a preferential conformation where it is bent over the unsubstituted aromatic ring. This conformational preference in the biologically active structure might be related to the observed loss of activity when substituents are introduced on the aromatic rings.
