Question 1 of 5
The following anxiolytic acts as a partial agonist on 5-HT1A receptors:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Buspirone (choice A) is an anxiolytic acting as a partial agonist at 5-HT1A serotonin receptors, reducing anxiety without sedation, unlike benzodiazepines. Flurazepam (choice B) and Diazepam (choice C) enhance GABAa effects, not serotonin. Chloral hydrate (choice D), a sedative, lacks receptor specificity. Buspirone's unique mechanism avoids dependence, making it distinct in anxiety treatment.
