Echinopsidine (Adepren) is an antidepressant used in Bulgaria for the treatment of depression.[1][2] It increases serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels in the brain and is believed to act as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI).[3][4][5] Echinopsidine is found naturally in Echinops echinatus along with the related alkaloids echinopsine and echinozolinone.[6]
