SB 205384 is a GABAA modulator with a novel mechanism of action that shows subunit selectivity.
ChEBI: 4-amino-7-hydroxy-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1]benzothiolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid but-2-ynyl ester is a thienopyridine.
GABA A receptor modulator; slows current decay. Displays some specificity for α 3-subunit-containing receptors (in particular α 3 β 2 γ 2), having little effect on receptors containing α 1 or α 2 subunits.
