Target: Others

Maprotiline (sold as Deprilept, Ludiomil, Psymion) is a tetracyclic antidepressant (TeCA). However, Maprotiline's fourth ring is spurious, as formed by a bridge across the central tricyclic ring. It is a strong norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor with only weak effects on serotonin and dopamine reuptake. It exerts strong blocking effect at H1 receptors, moderate at 5-HT2 and alpha1 and weak blocking effect at D2 and mACh postsynaptic receptors [1, 2].
