Delequamine (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code names RS-15385, RS-15385-197) is a potent and selective α₂-adrenergic receptor antagonist which was under development for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and major depressive disorder but was never marketed.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

It is structurally related to the naturally occurring α₂-adrenergic receptor antagonist yohimbine but has greater selectivity in comparison.^[3]^[4] The drug has been found to affect sexual function and sleep in humans.^[4]

Delequamine reached phase 3 clinical trials prior to the discontinuation of its development.^[1] The drug was under development in the 1990s and its development was discontinued by 1999.^[1] It was first described in the scientific literature by 1990.^[5]
