RO5256390 is an agonist of Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), a GPCR primarily found in the brain, expressed in areas where the major monoamine amine transmitters (DA and NE) are also present. RO5256390 is a selective TAAR1 agonist shown to be a negative regulator of dopamine transmission. It has antipsychotic activity in models of schizophrenia, reduces cocaine′s reinforcng effects, and blocks binge-eating disorder.

Trace-amines (TAs) are endogenous amines that are implicated in several physiological processes including modulation of aminergic neurotransmission. These compounds exert their effect by activating a class of G protein-coupled receptors termed Trace-Amine Associated Receptors (TAARs), where TAAR1 is the only
