Abstract—

This article presents a review of studies of new pharmacological substances in the aspect of their anxiolytic activity. These substances are derivatives of various chemical classes. The variety of synthesized substances described in this article is a combination of the most interesting and promising projects at the moment. According to the current trend, a further detailed preclinical study of chemical compounds with a multitarget mode of action is an extremely relevant issue for researchers in the areas of pharmacology and medicine.
