Setiptiline Maleate is a tetracyclic antidepressant that has been used in the treatment of depression. It has antihistamine and hypnotic–sedative effects, but almost no anticholinergic effects. It is a weak inhibitor of norepinephrine reuptake in vitro and strongly stimulates the release of central norepinephrine by blocking presynaptic α2-adrenoceptors similar to mianserin. It also acts as a 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Unlike most conventional antidepressants, it has no efficacy as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It can induce drowsiness and thirst, but it displays low toxicity. Setiptiline Maleate was launched in 1989 for the treatment of depression in Japan.
