Niaprazine (Nopron) is a sedative-hypnotic drug of the phenylpiperazine class.[1] It has been used in the treatment of sleep disturbances since the early 1970s in several European countries, including France, Italy, and Luxembourg.[2][3] It is commonly used with children and adolescents on account of its favorable safety and tolerability profile and lack of abuse potential.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

Originally believed to act as an antihistamine and anticholinergic,[10] niaprazine was later discovered to have no significant binding affinity for either the H1 or the mACh receptors (Ki = > 1 μM), and was instead found to act as a potent and selective 5-HT2A and α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist (Ki = 75 nM and 86 nM, respectively).[11] It is virtually inactive at 5-HT1A, 5-HT2B, D2, and β-adrenergic, as well as at SERT and VMAT (Ki = all > 1 μM), but it does have some weak affinity for the α2-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 730 nM),[11] likely acting as an antagonist there as well.

Niaprazine has been shown to metabolize to the compound pFPP in a similar manner to how trazodone and nefazodone metabolize to mCPP.[12][13] It is unclear what role, if any, pFPP plays in the clinical effects of niaprazine.[11] However, from animal studies it is known that pFPP, unlike niaprazine, does not produce sedative effects, and instead exerts a behavioral profile indicative of serotonergic activation.[12]
