Ebalzotan is a selective serotonin (5-HT1A) receptor agonist, was chosen by Astra in the early 1990s as a candidate drug for the treatment of depression and anxiety. It has a modest affinity for the 5-HT(7). In vivo, ebalzotan induced all the typical effects of a 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist in rats: it decreased 5-HT synthesis (5-HTP accumulation) and 5-HT turnover (measured as the ratio of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid/5-HT), increased corticosterone secretion, induced the 5-HT(1A) syndrome (flat body posture and forepaw treading), inhibited the cage-leaving response, and caused hypothermia. Ebalzotan had been in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of major depressive disorder. However, this study was discontinued.
