Pruvanserin (EMD-281,014, LY-2,422,347) is a selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist which was under development by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of insomnia.[1][2] It was in phase II clinical trials in 2008 but appears to have been discontinued as it is no longer in the company's development pipeline.[3][4] In addition to its sleep-improving properties,[5][6] pruvanserin has also been shown to have antidepressant, anxiolytic, and working memory-enhancing effects in animal studies.[7][8][9]
