Description
A positive allosteric modulator of GABAB receptors; potentiates GABA-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding to recombinant human GABAB receptors and rat cortical membranes (EC50s = 2.1 and 3.1 μM, respectively); amplifies GABAB receptor-mediated transient calcium signaling in HEK293 cells expressing human receptors (EC50 = 2.4 μM); suppresses alcohol self-administration in Indiana alcohol-preferring, Sardinian alcohol-preferring, and Alko Alcohol rats from 25-100 mg/kg; reduces amphetamine- or MK-801-induced hyperactivity in rats and the number of DOI-induced head twitches in mice; reduces the incidence of sound-induced tonic convulsions in juvenile mice (ED50 = 55.38 mg/kg)
