Tianeptine, a tricyclic compound, is a selective facilitator of 5-HT (serotonin sc-201146) uptake in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, Tianeptine is reported to act as a selective inhibitor of dopamine uptake and is similar to amineptine. Tianeptine does not have a noted effect on monoamine uptake. In a study utilizing purified synaptosomes from rat brain, Tianeptine was reported to enhance serotonin uptake in selective brain regions. Purified synaptosomes were obtained from rats and incubated with tritium-labeled 5-H and Tianeptine in vitro. The synaptosomes were then analyzed for uptake and release of 5-HT via a liquid scintillation counter.
