Aptazapine (CGS-7525A) is a tetracyclic antidepressant (TeCA) which was assayed in clinical trials for the treatment of depression in the 1980s but was never marketed.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is a potent α₂-adrenergic receptor antagonist with ~10x the strength of the related compound mianserin and has also been shown to act as a 5-HT₂ receptor antagonist and H₁ receptor inverse agonist, while having no significant effects on the reuptake of serotonin or norepinephrine.^[1]^[4] Based on its pharmacological profile, aptazapine may be classified as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA).
