RO5256390 or RO-5256390 is a drug developed by Hoffmann-La Roche which acts as an agonist for the trace amine associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), which has been shown to block compulsive and binge-like eating behavior in rats. For this reason, it is being investigated as a potential drug to treat binge eating disorder.^[1] The drug shows robust aversive and locomotor-suppressing effects in rodents that are dependent on TAAR1 activation.^[2] Similar aversive effects have also been observed with other TAAR1 agonists like RO5263397 and RO5166017.^[2]^[3]
