Setiptiline (Tecipul), also known as teciptiline, is a tetracyclic antidepressant (TeCA) which acts as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA). It was launched in 1989 for the treatment of depression in Japan by Mochida.

Chemistry

Setiptiline has a tetracyclic structure and is a close analogue of mianserin and mirtazapine, with setiptiline being delta(13b,4a),4a-carba-mianserin, and mirtazapine being 6-aza-mianserin.

Pharmacology

Setiptiline acts as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, α₂-adrenergic receptor antagonist, and serotonin receptor antagonist, likely at the 5-HT_2A, 5-HT_2C, and/or 5-HT₃ subtypes, as well as an H₁ receptor inverse agonist/antihistamine.
