The drug is a centrally penetrant selective partial agonist of the α1A-adrenergic receptor.[2][4] nOH frequently occurs in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease and CST-3056 is in part aimed to treat these cases, including to both stabilize blood pressure and improve cerebral perfusion (brain blood flow).[2][4]
CST-3056 is under development by CuraSen Therapeutics.[1][3][4] As of November 2025, it is in phase 2 clinical trials for treatment of orthostatic hypotension and the preclinical research stage of development for Alzheimer's disease.[1][3][4] The chemical structure of CST-3056 does not yet appear to have been disclosed.[1]
