Devazepide [1] (L-364,718, MK-329) is benzodiazepine drug, but with quite different actions from most benzodiazepines, lacking affinity for GABAA receptors and instead acting as an CCKA receptor antagonist. [2] It increases appetite and accelerates gastric emptying, [3] [4] and has been suggested as a potential treatment for a variety of gastrointestinal problems including dyspepsia, gastroparesis and gastric reflux. [5] It is also widely used in scientific research into the CCKA receptor. [6] [7]
Devazepide is synthesised in a similar manner to other benzodiazepines. [8] [9]
