Substances that do not act as agonists or antagonists but do affect the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID receptor-ionophore complex. GABA-A receptors (RECEPTORS, GABA-A) appear to have at least three allosteric sites at which modulators act: a site at which BENZODIAZEPINES act by increasing the opening frequency of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-activated chloride channels; a site at which BARBITURATES act to prolong the duration of channel opening; and a site at which some steroids may act. GENERAL ANESTHETICS probably act at least partly by potentiating GABAergic responses, but they are not included here.
DescriptionIndiplon is a pyrazolopyrimidine that acts as a high-affinity positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor, potentiating GABA-activated chloride currents in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. Indiplon is selective for α1 subunits (EC50 = 2.6 nM) as compared with α2, α3, or α5 (EC50 = 24, 60, and 77 nM). Through this action, indiplon has sedative and hypnotic effects that can improve sleep onset, maintenance, and duration.
UsesIndiplon is a member of pyrimidines with sedative, hypnotic. Indiplon has been used in trials studying the treatment of Insomnia and Depression.
