Buspirone/zolmitriptan, also known by its developmental code names AV-2860 and JM-010, is a combination of buspirone, a serotonin 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist, and zolmitriptan, a serotonin 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT1F receptor agonist, which is under development for the treatment of drug-induced dyskinesia, specifically levodopa-induced dyskinesia in people with Parkinson's disease.[1][2][3][4][5] It is taken orally.[1] The drug is under development by Contera Pharma and Bukwang Pharmaceutical.[1][4] As of November 2024, it is in phase 2 clinical trials for treatment of drug-induced dyskinesia.[1][4] Buspirone/zolmitriptan has failed to meet its endpoints in phase 2 trials.[2]
