Zalospirone (WY-47,846) is a selective 5-HT1A partial agonist of the azapirone chemical class.[1][2] It was found to be effective in the treatment of anxiety and depression in clinical trials, but a high proportion of subjects dropped out due to side effects and development was subsequently never completed.[3]
