Buspirone: Uses, Interactions, Mechanism of Action | DrugBank …
WEBThe anxiolytic action of buspirone is mainly thought to arise from the interaction at presynaptic 5-HT 1A autoreceptors. Acting as a potent agonist in these receptors, buspirone initially causes activation of these autoreceptors and inhibition of 5-HT release.

WEBBuspirone (Buspar) is a azaspirodecanedione anxiolytic agent. Its mechanism of action is extremely complex, but current investigations indicate that its main neuropharmacologic effects are mediated by the 5-HT1A receptors. Other neuroreceptor systems could be involved, as buspirone displays some aff ….
WEBBuspirone, sold under the brand name Buspar, among others, is an anxiolytic, a medication primarily used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly generalized anxiety disorder. [10] [11] It is a serotonin 5-HT 1A receptor agonist , increasing action at serotonin receptors in …

WEBJan 12, 2021 · The proposed mechanism of action is through partial agonism of the 5-HT1A receptors, notably lacking benzodiazepine or GABA affinity. The majority of clinical trials have been completed in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and a recent meta-analysis found buspirone to be more efficacious at reducing symptoms of anxiety than placebo.

Assessing the Anti-Inflammatory Activity of the Anxiolytic Drug
WEBMay 25, 2021 · Buspirone is an anxiolytic drug with robust serotonin receptor 1A (Htr1a) agonist activities. However, evidence has demonstrated that this drug also targets the dopamine D3 receptor (Drd3), where it acts as a potent antagonist. In vivo, Drd3 blockade is neuroprotective and reduces inflammation in models of Parkinson’s disease.
