Buspirone is an azapirone anxiolytic that acts as a partial agonist at 5-HT1A receptors and α1-adrenergic receptors and an antagonist at D2/3/4 receptors. Buspirone is clinically used to treat anxiety. In animal models, buspirone inhibits MMPP-induced enhancements in memory acquisition and formation.
