Biological Activity

MK 0343 is a subtype-selective GABAA partial agonist (Ki values are 0.21, 0.22, 0.23 and 0.40 for α3, α1, α5 and α2 respectively); occupies the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors. Displays greater agonist efficacy at α3 compared to α1. Exhibits anxiolytic and non-sedating properties in rodent models. Brain penetrant.
