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]
