Emapunil (AC-5216, XBD-173) is an anxiolytic drug which acts as a selective agonist at the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, also known as the mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein or TSPO.^[1]^[2] This protein has multiple functions, among which is regulation of steroidogenesis,^[3]^[4] particularly the production of neuroactive steroids such as allopregnanolone in the brain.^[5]^[6]^[7] In both animal and human trials, emapunil produced fast acting anxiolytic and anti-panic effects, without producing sedation or withdrawal symptoms following cessation of use.^[8]^[9] Emapunil is also used in its ¹¹C radiolabelled form to map the distribution of TSPO receptors in the brain.^[10]^[11]
