Ciclazindol (WY-23409) is an antidepressant and anorectic [2] drug of the tetracyclic [ citation needed ] chemical class that was developed in the mid to late 1970s, but was never marketed. [3] [4] It acts as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, and to a lesser extent as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. [3] [5] Ciclazindol has no effects on the SERT, 5-HT receptors, mACh receptors, or α-adrenergic receptors, and has only weak affinity for the H1 receptor. [5] [6] [7] As suggested by its local anesthetic properties, [6] ciclazindol may also inhibit sodium channels. It is known to block potassium channels as well. [8] [9]

The dosage in human volunteers is stated to be 25 mg daily. [1] However, doses of up to 200 mg have also been reported. [2] This is surprising since the dosage of mazindol is only 2-4 mg per day.

Ciclazindol is reported to have an IC50 of 1.3 nM for the dopamine transporter (cmp 23). [10]
