2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1H-dibenzo[3,4:6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-c]pyridyl maleate

Definition

ChEBI: Setiptiline maleate is a maleate salt obtained by reaction of setiptiline with one equivalent of maleic acid. It has a role as an alpha-adrenergic antagonist and a serotonergic antagonist. It is a maleate salt and a tetracyclic antidepressant. It contains a setiptiline(1+).

Biological Activity

setiptiline is a tetracyclic antidepressant (teca) which acts as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (nassa). setiptiline acts as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, and serotonin receptor antagonist, likely at the 5-ht2a, 5-ht2c, and/or 5-ht3 subtypes, as well as an h1 receptor inverse agonist/antihistamine. from wikipedia.
