Ketipramine (G-35,259), also known as ketimipramine or ketoimipramine, is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that was tested in clinical trials for the treatment of depression in the 1960s but was never marketed.[1][2][3] It differs from imipramine in terms of chemical structure only by the addition of a ketone group, to the azepine ring, and is approximately equivalent in effectiveness as an antidepressant in comparison.[4]

It was one of the drugs prescribed by Roland Kuhn in a series of unethical experiments to test drugs on children without informed consent and without proper approval at the psychiatric hospital in Münsterlingen, Switzerland .[5][6][7]
