Ocinaplon is an anxiolytic drug in the pyrazolopyrimidine family of drugs. Other pyrazolopyrimidine drugs include zaleplon and indiplon.
Ocinaplon has a similar pharmacological profile to the benzodiazepine family of drugs, but with mainly anxiolytic properties and relatively little sedative or amnestic effect.[1]
Mechanism of action
The mechanism of action by which ocinaplon produces its anxiolytic effects is by modulating GABAA receptors,[2] although ocinaplon is more subtype-selective than most benzodiazepines.[3]
Availability
Development of ocinaplon is discontinued due to liver complications that occurred in one of the Phase III subjects.[4] However new compounds are under preclinical pipeline.[5]
