cis-10-Hydroxy amitriptyline is a stereospecific oxidation derivative of amitriptyline, featuring a hydroxyl group at the 10th carbon of the indane ring in the cis configuration relative to the adjacent methylene bridge. This hydroxylation introduces a chiral center, altering the molecule's steric and electronic properties compared to the parent tricyclic antidepressant. The compound retains the core 10H-phenothiazine-like scaffold with a dimethylamino substituent on the aliphatic sidechain. It arises as a degradation byproduct under oxidative stress conditions and serves as a critical HPLC reference standard for quantifying amitriptyline stability profiles in pharmaceutical formulations.
