Eltoprazine is a potent and selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist that has been investigated for its potential therapeutic effects in a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. It is a synthetic compound that was developed in the 1980s. Eltoprazine's effects on the central nervous system include anxiolytic, antidepressant, and antipsychotic activity. It is studied for its potential to treat conditions such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Eltoprazine's selective affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor is believed to contribute to its therapeutic properties. Research suggests that it may modulate serotonin neurotransmission in the brain, leading to its observed effects. However, despite promising preclinical studies, eltoprazine has not been approved for clinical use, and its potential for treating psychiatric disorders remains under investigation.'
