NS-2664 (LS-193048) is an anxiolytic drug with a novel chemical structure developed by the small pharmaceutical company Neurosearch. It has similar effects to benzodiazepine drugs but is structurally distinct and so is classed as a nonbenzodiazepine anxiolytic. NS-2664 is a potent but non-selective partial agonist at GABAA receptors although with little efficacy at the α1 subtype and more at α2 and α3.
