Deramciclane (EGIS-3886) is a drug which acts as an antagonist at the 5-HT2A receptor,[1] as an inverse agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor,[2] and as a GABA reuptake inhibitor.[3] It has anticonvulsant and anxiolytic effects, and has proceeded through to Phase III clinical trials in humans,[4] although development and further trials are still underway and it has not yet been approved for clinical use. Results to date suggest that it is effective and well tolerated for the treatment of anxiety, with the only significant side effect being headaches.[5]
