PRX-00023 is a drug of the phenylpiperazine class that was being developed by EPIX Pharmaceuticals Inc for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder.[1][2] It was well tolerated in clinical trials but failed to reach significant remission on the Hammilton Rating Scales and development was subsequently discontinued.[2][3][4]

PRX-00023 acts as a selective 5-HT1A receptor ligand and sigma receptor agonist.[2][5][6] Originally believed to have appreciable intrinsic activity as an agonist of the 5-HT1A receptor, later studies found it to possess very low efficacy (6-7% relative to 5-HT) and to behave more like an antagonist, likely underlying its failure as an antidepressant/anxiolytic in clinical trials.[7]
