Tianeptine sodium salt

Description

Tianeptine sodium salt is an atypical antidepressant. Tianeptine sodium salt is a moderate-intensity agonist of the ?-opioid receptor MOR , and to a lesser extent, is an agonist of the ?-opioid receptor DOR . Tianeptine sodium salt is a glutamate modulator that can enhance AMPA receptor and antagonize NMDA receptor. Tianeptine sodium salt increases sensitivity of the ?1 adrenergic receptor, which only manifests in chronic treatment. Tianeptine sodium salt exerts neuroprotective effects under stress/inflammation-induced conditions, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Tianeptine sodium salt inhibits MMP-9 by suppressing the PI3K/Akt-mediated NF-?B pathway. Tianeptine sodium salt can be used to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, but does not cause sedative effects.
