Metapramine (trade name Timaxel) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) which was introduced for the treatment of depression in France in 1984.[1][2] In addition to its efficacy against affective disorders, it also has analgesic properties,[3][4] 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.[5][6][7] It has also been shown to act as a low-affinity NMDA receptor antagonist.[8] 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.[7][9]
