From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Etazolate is a pyrazolopyridine derivative drug,[1] which acts as an anxiolytic.[2]
It has several mechanisms of action, acting as an adenosine antagonist,[3] a subtype-selective GABAA receptor partial agonist,[4] and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor selective for the PDE4 subtype.[5]
