Biochem/physiol Actions

Loreclezole (R72063) is a sedative and anticonvulsant that exerts subtype-selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) potency toward beta2 (β2)- or β3-containing GABAA gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors (% potentiation by 1 μM Loreclezole of GABA EC20-stimulated current/human α1βγ2 = 100/α1β2γ2, 120/α1β3γ2, 13/α1β1γ2; α1β2γ2 EC50 = 1 μM) with >300-fold lower β1 affinity, while acting as a negative allosteric modulator (NAM) against the homomeric rho1 (ρ1) GABAA-rho receptor (rat GABAC IC50 = 0.5 μM against GABA EC10-induced current).

Rats were injected intraperitoneally with loreclezole (R 72063), diazepam, or scopolamine 60 min prior to acquisition of a passive avoidance task and tested 18 h later for retention of the learned (passive) behavior. The known impairment of performance produced by

GABA(C) receptors are expressed in the whole brain, but predominantly in the retina. They can be identified by their unique pharmacology. The establishment of the entire pharmacology is, however, quite tedious. We show here that loreclezole dose dependently inhibits ionic

Effects of loreclezole (R72063), a triazole derivative with anticonvulsant properties, were studied on field potentials in rat hippocampal slices and on different patterns of low Mg(2+)-induced epileptiform activity in combined entorhinal cortex-hippocampal slices. Lowering extracellular Mg2+ induced recurrent (10-60/min), short

In animal models of epilepsy the anticonvulsant profile of loreclezole resembles that of barbiturates and benzodiazepines. We examined whether the increase in seizure threshold to pentylenetetrazole infusion produced by 10 mg/kg of loreclezole, pentobarbital or diazepam could be reversed by

Type A gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptors of the mammalian nervous system are a family of ligand-gated ion channels probably formed from the coassembly of different subunits (alpha 1-6, beta 1-3, gamma 1-3, delta) in the arrangement alpha beta gamma or
