Volinanserin (INN) (developmental code name MDL-100,907) is a highly selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist that is frequently used in scientific research to investigate the function of the 5-HT2A receptor.[1][2][3] It was also tested in clinical trials as a potential antipsychotic,[4][5] antidepressant,[6] and treatment for insomnia but was never marketed.[7]
