SB-205384 is an anxiolytic drug. It has similar effects to benzodiazepine drugs, but is structurally distinct and so is classed as a nonbenzodiazepine anxiolytic.

SB-205384 is a GABA_A positive allosteric modulator, which binds preferentially to α3, α5, and α6 subunit containing subtypes.^[1]^[2] It has a novel mechanism of action, prolonging the duration of GABA-mediated chloride flux but without increasing the intensity of the response, and this may give it an unusual pharmacological profile,^[3] with tests showing that it alters the firing of some populations of neurons while leaving others unaffected.^[4] Animal studies have shown it to produce both anxiolytic and anti-aggressive effects, but with little sedation or other behavioural changes.^[5]^[6]
