Metapramine
Metapramine (19560 RP) is an antidepressant agent, belonging to the class of tricyclic compounds. Metapramine inhibits norepinephrine reuptake, without affecting the reuptake of serotonin or dopamine. Metapramine is a low-affinity antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor complex channel.
