生物活性 | Abecarnil (ZK 112119) is a ligand or a partial agonist forbenzodiazepine (BZ) receptor. Abecarnil possesses anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties. Abecarnil can act as a positive allosteric modulator ofGABAAreceptor. Abecarnil inhibits the binding of the BZ [3H]lormetazepam to rat cerebral cortex membranes, with anIC50of 0.82 nM. Abecarnil can be used for epilepsy research[1][2][3][4]. |
体外研究 (In Vitro) | Abecarnil enhances the binding of t-[35S]butylbicyclophosphorothionate to rat cortical membranes[1]. Abecarnil exhibits a 3- to 6-fold higher affinity to forebrain BZ receptors than Diazepam (DZP)[1].

体内研究 (In Vivo) | Abecarnil (0.3 mg/kg, IP, once) antagonizes the brain neuroactive steroid increase induced by foot shock[2]. Abecarnil (0-2.5 mg/kg, IP, once) dose dependently reduces epileptic activity[3]. Abecarnil is effective against sound-induced convulsions in DBA/2 mice, against air blast-induced generalized seizures in gerbils and against myoclonus in baboons Papio papio[4]. Abecarnil is 2-10 times more potent than DZP in most rodent tests of anxiolytic activity, and in reducing locomotor activity in mice and rats thoroughly habituated to the test chamber[1].
Animal Model: | Male Sprague-Dawley CD rats (200-250 g)[2] | Dosage: | 0.3 mg/kg | Administration: | IP, once, given 30 min before sacrifice | Result: | Failed to change the basal pregnenolone and progesterone, while only slightly decreased THDOC levels, but antagonized the brain neuroactive steroid increase induced by foot shock. |
Animal Model: | WAG/Rij rats (male and female, 190-380 g, age 13-19 weeks, 8 rats each group)[3] | Dosage: | 0, 0.16, 0.4, 1.0, and 2.5 mg/kg; 1 mL/400 g | Administration: | IP, once | Result: | Reduced the duration of spike-wave discharges and increased immobile behavior. Dose dependently reduced epileptic activity, whether measured as number, mean duration, or total duration of spike-wave discharges. The ED50for reducing the number of spike-wave discharges in the second hour was 0.4 mg/kg. |
