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).

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

The majority of inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain is mediated by the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A (GABA(A)) receptor. The anticonvulsant loreclezole largely acts by potentiating GABA(A) receptors containing beta2 and beta3 subunits. We used a genetically modified mouse containing

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

Cloning of cDNAs that code for GABAA receptor subunits has revealed multiple receptor populations constructed from different subunit combinations. On native rat and cloned human GABAA receptors, the anticonvulsant compound loreclezole strongly potentiated GABA-mediated chloride currents. Using different combinations of
