Lesopitron is a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic with pre- and post-synaptic 5-HT1A agonist activity. Its structure is similar to that of buspirone. Lesopitron has negligible effects on alpha-adrenergic and dopaminergic receptors [162653], and was more potent than structurally-related 5-HT1A agonists in rat social interaction and marmoset anxiety models. It also countered benzodiazepine withdrawal-induced anxiety in rodents. The acute toxicity of lesopitron is low and it does not potentiate the effects of alcohol or barbiturates. Long-term usage led to reductions in plasma glucose, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol. The most common adverse events associated with lesopitron were somnolence, headache, pharyngitis, and dyspepsia.
