Teniloxazine (Lucelan Metatone) also known as sufoxazine/sulfoxazine is a drug which is marketed in Japan. Though initially investigated as a neuroprotective and nootropic agent for the treatment of cerebrovascular insufficiency in the 1980s it was ultimately developed and approved as an antidepressant instead. It acts as a potent norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor with fair selectivity over the serotonin and dopamine transporters and also behaves as an antagonist at the 5-HT2A receptor.
