Nelotanserin Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Nelotanserin has been used in trials studying the treatment of Lewy Body Dementia, Visual Hallucinations, Dementia With Lewy Bodies, and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. It is a highly selective antagonist at the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor. It increases non-REM sleep, the most restorative phase of the sleep cycle, without sacrificing REM or dream sleep. Nelotanserin works through a mechanism of action that is different from currently marketed drugs.

How Nelotanserin works
Nelotanserin potently and selectively targets the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, blocking a stimulatory pathway of the central nervous system. This mechanism is not expected to have the side effects of the GABA-A treatments.
