SRX246, also known as API-246, is a small-molecule, centrally-active, highly-selective vasopressin V1A receptor antagonist which is under investigation by Azevan Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of affective and anger disorders.[1][2][3]
It is an azetidinone derivative, and was developed from LY-307174 as a lead compound.[4] A Phase II activity trial of the drug in the treatment of adults with intermittent explosive disorder showed a reduction in aggression not any higher than that of the placebo.[5] In another Phase II trial it decreased aggression in patients with Huntington's disease, especially those in the middle and late stages who had a history of violent behavior.[6] It was also being studied for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder,[7] but the study was terminated due to lack of funding.[8]
