57262-94-9CN1CCC2=C(C1)c1ccccc1Cc1ccccc12GVPIXRLYKVFFMK-UHFFFAOYSA-NSetiptiline is a tetracyclic antidepressant that is 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[3,4:6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-c]pyridine carrying a methyl group at position 2. Its maleate salt is used for the treatment of depression in Japan. It has a role as an alpha-adrenergic antagonist and a serotonergic antagonist. It is a tetracyclic antidepressant and a tertiary amino compound. It is a conjugate base of a setiptiline(1+).

Setiptiline is an antagonist at the α2 adrenergic receptor and at serotonin receptors. The antagonism of the α2 receptors likely relieves presynaptic inhibition of adrenergic neurotransmission, allowing for greater and longer sustained release of noradrenaline into the synapse. The antagonism of serotonin receptors may produce an upregulation of the receptors leading to an eventual increase in serotonergic signalling. The actual physiological mechanisms behind the antidepressant effect of setiptiline is unknown but the listed possibilities exist as likely explanations.
DescriptionSetiptiline is a mianserin analog reportedly useful in the treatment of depression with a favorable side-effect profile. It is a potent antagonist of alpha-receptors, with greater affinity at alpha, than alpha, sites, as well as an inhibitor of central serotonin receptors.
UsesSetiptiline is a tetracyclic antidepressant. Setiptiline acts as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA).
