What is "viqualine"

n. A psychoactive drug and research chemical of the quinoline class, with antidepressant and anxiolytic properties.

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