Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

CGP-7930 is a positive allosteric modulator at the GABA_B receptor. This means that it enhances the effect of the natural neurotransmitter GABA at this receptor. GABA_B receptors are found in the central nervous system and are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including the regulation of neuronal excitability and the modulation of synaptic transmission.

Therapeutic potential[edit | edit source]

Research has suggested that CGP-7930 may have potential therapeutic applications. In particular, it has been found to have anxiolytic effects in animal models, suggesting that it may be useful in the treatment of anxiety disorders. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and to explore other possible therapeutic uses.
