Viqualine

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