Bexicaserin (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code names LP352 and AN352) is a selective serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist which is under development for the treatment of seizures in developmental disabilities such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.[1][3][2] It is taken by mouth.[2][1]

The drug is highly selective for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, with negligible affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors.[2] Because it does not activate the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, bexicaserin is not expected to pose a risk of cardiac valvulopathy, unlike the existing agent fenfluramine.[2]

As of October 2024, bexicaserin is in phase 3 clinical trials for treatment of developmental disabilities.[1][3] It is being developed by Longboard Pharmaceuticals.[1][3]
