Flupentixol is a thioxanthene-derivative antipsychotic with anxiolytic and antidepressant properties which at low doses acts as an antagonist at dopamine (specifically, D1 and D2), serotonin (5-HT2), adrenaline (α-1), and histamine (H1) receptors that influence thoughts and mood.

Melitracen is a tricyclic antidepressant with activating properties at low doses. It increases the synaptic concentration of serotonin and/or norepinephrine in the CNS that aid in mood regulation.
