Devazepide[1] (L-364,718,MK-329) isbenzodiazepine drug, but with quite different actions from most benzodiazepines, lacking affinity forGABAA receptors and instead acting as anCCKAreceptor 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 includingdyspepsia,gastroparesis andgastric 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]
