Tianeptine sodium salt is an atypical antidepressant that functions as a moderate-intensity agonist of the μ-opioid and δ-opioid receptors. It acts as a glutamate modulator, enhancing AMPA and antagonizing NMDA receptor activity. Providing neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, it helps alleviate depression and anxiety symptoms without causing sedation.
