CGP 7930

Key Product Details

Product Description

CGP 7930 is a positive allosteric modulator of GABA_A and GABA_B receptors. Increases the potency and efficacy of GABA at both recombinant and native GABA_B receptors (EC₅₀ values are 4.60 μM and 5.37 μM respectively) and enhances the inhibitory effect of the agonist L-baclofen in cultured cortical neurons. In HEK-293 cells expressing recombinant GABA_A receptor, CGP 7930 increases the potency and efficacy of GABA (EC₅₀ values are 1.0 μM and 1.7 μM at α4β3δ and α1β2γ2L receptors respectively). In cultured hippocampal neurons, pre-application of CGP 7930 causes concentration-dependent potentiation of GABA_A receptor currents by specific type-A receptor agonist Muscimol (EC₅₀ = 2.0 μM). CGP7930 potentiates GABA_A receptor-mediated tonic inhibition, reduces the frequency of inhibitory postsynaptic currents and prolongs rise and decay times. CGP 7930 also blocks G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels diminishing GABA_A receptor signaling in HEK 293 cells. CGP 7930 reduces operant self-administration of ethanol in alcohol-preferring rats following i.p. administration.
