Zabaglurant (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name;[2] developmental code names HTL14242 and TMP-301) is a metabotropic glutamate mGlu5 receptor negative allosteric modulator which is under development for the treatment of alcoholism (alcohol use disorder).[1][3][4][5][6] It is taken orally.[1] The drug was first described in the scientific literature by 2015.[4][5][6] It was developed by Sosei Heptares, Nxera Pharma, and Tempero Bio.[1][3] As of April 2026, the drug is in phase 2 clinical trials for alcoholism.[1][3] It was also under development for cocaine-related disorders, other substance-related disorders, anxiety disorders, neurological disorders, and psychiatric disorders, but no recent development has been reported or development was discontinued for these indications.[1][3] In April 2026, a phase 2 trial for alcoholism was terminated due to serious adverse events.[1][7]
