Phillipa,
It's an antidepressant that Innapharma (Tetragenex) in the States were developing. It's also known as INN00835 and is a pentapetide (don't ask me what that is :-)).
Anyway, they found during initial trials that at the correct dose it acted faster than your usual antidepressants and they seemed to be quite excited about it. Then they found that it was toxic to beagles so they had to stop all human trials.
The time before last when I spoke to the company they told me that they found that the toxicity was species specific (so it only affected beagles) and they were planning to get approval again to continue with human trials.
The company is actually in America and if you look up innapharma you will see more info on it.
Kind Regards....Denise
