TIANEPTINE, a tricyclic antidepressant, is a drug used for the treatment of the major depressive disorder. It was discovered by The French Society of Medical Research in the 1980s. Unlike other tricyclic antidepressants, TIANEPTINE is a selective serotonin reuptake enhancer with minimal effects on norepinephrine and dopamine uptake. Also, it is a full agonist at the mu-opioid and delta-opioid receptors with no effect at the kappa-opioid receptors. Selective mu-opioid agonists typically induce euphoria, which may contribute to TIANEPTINE's antidepressant effect. It is marketed as Coaxil/Stablon in many European countries, but it is not available in the US.

Sample Use Guides

Using radioligand binding and cell-based functional assays, including bioluminescence resonance energy transfer-based assays for G-protein activation and cAMP accumulation, tianeptine was identified as an efficacious mu-opioid receptor agonist (Ki of 383+/-183 nM and EC50 of 194+/-70 nM). Tianeptine was also a full delta-opioid receptor agonist, although with much lower potency (EC50 of 37.4+/-11.2 uM for G-protein activation). In contrast, tianeptine was inactive at the kappa-opioid receptor.
