Viqualine

Medication From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viqualine (INN; developmental code PK-5078) is an antidepressant and anxiolytic drug that was never marketed.[1][2][3] It acts as a potent and selective serotonin releasing agent (SRA) and serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) similarly to para-chloroamphetamine (PCA).[3][4][5] In addition, viqualine displaces diazepam from the GABAA receptor and produces benzodiazepine-like effects, indicating that it is also a positive allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor.[3][6] The drug has mainly been researched as a potential treatment for alcoholism.[7][8]
