Description: Etifoxine (HOE-36801) and etafenoxine, is a non-benzodiazepine GABAergic anxiolytic and anticonvulsant drug developed by Hoechst in the 1960s, and sold in approximately 40 countries for anxiety disorders, without the sedation and ataxia associated with benzodiazepine drugs. Unlike benzodiazepines, etifoxine appears to produce its anxiolytic effects by binding to beta2 and beta3 subunits of the GABAA receptor complex, and so is acting at a different target site to benzodiazepines, although the physiological effect that is produced is similar to that of benzodiazepines.
