Abstract
SQ 20009 and SQ 65396, two new pyrazolopyridines with anxiolytic properties in animals, reversibly increased Na+-independent 3H-GABA binding to rat cerabral cortex membranes in vitro. This modulation was partially chloride dependent and sensitive to Triton-X 100. Kinetic analysis of 3H-muscimol binding revealed an increase of the apparent number of binding sites. The results are compatible with a functional association between Na+-independent GABA binding sites and the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor complex.Entities:
