EPPTB, also known as RO5212773 or RO-5212773, is a drug developed by Hoffmann-La Roche which acts as a potent and selective antagonist or inverse agonist of the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1).[1][2][3][4] The drug was the first selective antagonist developed for the TAAR1.[2][3] It is a potent agonist of the mouse and rat TAAR1, but is dramatically less potent as an agonist of the human TAAR1.[5][2][3] EPPTB has been used in scientific research to demonstrate an important role for TAAR1 in regulation of dopaminergic signaling in the limbic system.[2][3]
