WAY-267464 is a drug which acts as a high affinity potent selective and non-peptide agonist for the oxytocin receptor with negligible affinity for the vasopressin receptors. It has been shown to cross the blood-brain-barrier to a significantly greater extent than exogenously applied oxytocin and in animal tests produces centrally-mediated oxytocinergic actions such as anxiolytic effects but with no antidepressant effect evident. It was developed by a team at Ferring.
