摘要: Introduction: Panic disorder (PD) is a common disabling anxiety associated with relevant social costs. Effective anti-panic medications exist but have several drawbacks. From clinical perspective, there still strong unmet need for more effective, faster acting and tolerable therapeutic treatments.Areas covered: The authors review the available results on novel mechanism-based drugs that are under investigation in animal studies up to Phase II studies. preclinical investigated include: modulators of glutamate/orexin/cannabinoid systems, corticotrophin-releasing factor 1 (CRF1)/arginine vasopressine V1B/angiotensin receptor antagonists neuropeptide S. I/II glutamate system, isoxazoline derivative, translocator protein (18 kDa) ligands CRF1/neurokinin antagonists.Expert opinion: There has been little progress recent times. However, glutamate- orexin-related molecular ta...
