EVT-201 is a benzodiazepine derivative drug and partial positive allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor.[1] It has 2–4-fold higher functional affinity for the α1 subunit relative to the α2, α3, and α5 subunits and significantly less intrinsic activity in comparison to currently-marketed benzodiazepines and the Z-drugs.[2] Despite the lower efficacy, EVT-201 still shows effectiveness in the treatment of insomnia, and it is thought that the lower efficacy may result in fewer side effects, such as motor incoordination.[2] The drug was originally developed by Roche, based on preclinical data, as a non-sedating anxiolytic, but was found to produce sedation in humans in phase I clinical trials. For this reason, it was subsequently licensed to Evotec, which is now developing it for the treatment of insomnia.[2] As of 2007, EVT-201 has completed phase II clinical trials for this indication, with positive findings reported.[3] As of August, 2015, Phase II development is ongoing in China.[4]
