摘要: Abstract Cloning of cDNAs that code for GABA A receptor subunits has revealed multiple populations constructed from different subunit combinations. On native rat and cloned human receptors, the anticonvulsant compound loreclezole strongly potentiated GABA-mediated chloride currents. Using combinations expressed in Xenopus oocytes transfected 293 cells, was highly selective receptors containing β2 or β3 over those β1 subunit. Loreclezole demonstrated to act at a site distinct benzodiazepine, barbiturate, steroid sites with unique dependence. These results describe previously unidentified modulatory on β allows pharmacological discrimination subpopulations brain provides new target putative anticonvulsant/anxiolytic drugs.
