Abstract

The R-stereoisomer of 6-hydroxy-buspirone is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, and other psychogenic disorders. The R-isomer exhibits greater receptor specificity than the S-isomer and should have reduced potential for the adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture and with buspirone.
