SEP-4199, also known as non-racemic amisulpride, is a non-racemic form of amisulpride which is under development for the treatment of bipolar depression.[1][2][3] It is taken by mouth.[1]

It was developed to have higher binding affinity for the serotonin 5-HT7 receptor and lower affinity for the dopamine D2 receptor compared to conventional racemic amisulpride.[1][3][4][5] It contains the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of amisulpride (aramisulpride and esamisulpride) in an 85:15 ratio rather than a 50:50 ratio.[3] The modification is hoped to give the compound improved effectiveness and fewer side effects.[3][6]

If approved, it would be the first form of amisulpride approved in the United States for psychiatric indications.[5] It is in phase 3 clinical trials for bipolar depression as of December 2023.[1][7] Its development was reported to have been discontinued in certain countries including the United States and Japan in November and December 2023.[1] Sources are conflicting on whether it remains in development.[1][2]
