Viqualine (INN; developmental code PK-5078) is an antidepressant and anxiolytic drug that was never marketed. ^{[1] [2] [3]} It acts as a potent and selective serotonin releasing agent (SRA) and serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) similarly to para-chloroamphetamine (PCA). ^{[3] [4] [5]} In addition, viqualine displaces diazepam from the GABA_A receptor and produces benzodiazepine-like effects, indicating that it is also a positive allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site of the GABA_A receptor. ^{[3] [6]} The drug has mainly been researched as a potential treatment for alcoholism. ^{[7] [8]}
