Ro64-6198 is an nociceptoid drug used in scientific research. It acts as a potent and selective agonist for the nociceptin receptor also known as the ORL-1 (opiate receptor like-1) receptor with over 100x selectivity over other opioid receptors. It produces anxiolytic effects in animal studies equivalent to those of benzodiazepine drugs but has no anticonvulsant effects and does not produce any overt effects on behaviour.
