Metapramine (brand names Prodastene, Timaxel) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) developed by Rhone Poulenc[1] that was introduced for the treatment of depression in France in 1984.[2][3] In addition to its efficacy against affective disorders, it also has analgesic properties,[4][5] and may be useful in the treatment of pain.

Metapramine has desipramine-like effects, acting as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor without affecting the reuptake of serotonin or dopamine.[6][7][8] It has also been shown to act as a low-affinity NMDA receptor antagonist.[9] Metapramine's direct effects on serotonin, histamine, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have not been assayed, but uniquely among most TCAs, it has anecdotally been reported to lack anticholinergic effects.[8][10]
