Eltoprazine (DU-28,853) is a phenylpiperazine and so-called serenic, or antiaggressive drug, used as a research chemical in scientific studies.[1] It is closely related to several other piperazines, including fluprazine, batoprazine, DU 28412, flesinoxan, and TFMPP, as well as more distantly to the azapirones such as buspirone. Eltoprazine acts as an agonist at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors, and as an antagonist at the 5-HT2C receptor.[2] Its serenic properties may actually be mediated by anxiogenesis.[3]
