Etifoxine is a benzoxazine class drug primarily used as an anxiolytic, but that also possesses neuroprotective, neuroplastic, and anti-inflammatory properties; these effects are thought to arise due to modulation of GABAergic neurotransmission and neurosteroid synthesis. Etifoxine is an anxiolytic and anticonvulsant drug developed by Hoechst in the 1960s.
