EPPTB

EPPTB, also known as RO5212773 or RO-5212773, is a drug developed by Hoffmann-La Roche which acts as a potent and selectiveantagonist or inverse agonist of the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1). The drug was the first selective antagonist developed for the TAAR1. It is a potent antagonist of the mouse and rat TAAR1, but is dramatically less potent as an antagonist of the human TAAR1. EPPTB has been used in scientific research to demonstrate an important role for TAAR1 in regulation of dopaminergic signaling in the limbic system.
