RO5256390 or RO-5256390 is a drug developed by Hoffmann-La Roche which acts as an agonist for the trace amine associated receptor 1, 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][2]
