Fluotracen (SKF-28,175) is a tricyclic drug which has both antidepressant and antipsychotic activity.[1][2][3] This profile of effects is similar to that of related agents like amoxapine, loxapine, and trimipramine which may also be used in the treatment of both depression and psychosis.[1] It was believed that such duality would be advantageous in the treatment of schizophrenia, as depression is often comorbid with the disorder and usual antipsychotics often worsen such symptoms.[1] In any case, however, fluotracen was never marketed.[3]
