Description
GMA-839 is a selective modulator of gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) receptors.
Uses
GMA-839 is a selective modulator of the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor (GABAA) with an IC50 value of 230 nM. GMA-839 exhibits potent anxiolytic-like activity, demonstrating significant dose-dependent anxiolytic effects in animal models, with an effective oral dose of 1.6 mg/kg. Significant increases in punished responding were observed in squirrel monkeys and pigeons. GMA-839 shows promise for research in the field of anxiolytics[1].
