Tracazolate (ICI-136,753) is an anxiolytic drug which is used in scientific research. It is a pyrazolopyridine derivative, most closely related to pyrazolopyrimidine drugs such as zaleplon, and is one of a structurally diverse group of drugs known as the nonbenzodiazepines which act at the same receptor targets as benzodiazepines but have distinct chemical structures.^[1]

Tracazolate has primarily anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects, with sedative and muscle relaxant effects only appearing at higher doses.^[2] It has a unique receptor binding profile involving allosteric modulation of several GABA_A receptor subtypes, being selective for GABA_A receptors containing α1 and β3 subunits, but exhibiting different effects depending on the third type of subunit making up the receptor complex.^[3]
