Eltoprazine (developmental code name DU-28,853) is a serotonergic drug of the phenylpiperazine class which is described as a serenic or antiaggressive agent.[1][2][3] It acts as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors and as an antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor.[3][4] The drug is closely related to fluprazine and batoprazine, which are similarly acting agents, and is also a known chemical precursor to S-15535 and lecozotan. Eltoprazine is or was under development for the treatment of aggression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cognition disorders, and drug-induced dyskinesia, but no recent development has been reported for these indications as of February 2022.[1] It was also under development for the treatment of psychotic disorders, but development for this indication was discontinued.[1] Eltoprazine was originated by Solvay and was developed by Elto Pharma, PsychoGenics, and Solvay.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
