CX-1739
CX-1739 is a drug that has been studied for its potential use in the treatment of cognitive disorders. It acts as a GABA_A receptor positive allosteric modulator and also inhibits the GABA transporter 1 (GAT1), which may contribute to its pharmacological effects.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
CX-1739 is a positive allosteric modulator of the GABA_A receptor, a type of protein that responds to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). By enhancing the effects of GABA at this receptor, CX-1739 may increase the inhibitory effects of this neurotransmitter, potentially leading to sedative and anxiolytic effects.
In addition to its effects on the GABA_A receptor, CX-1739 also inhibits the GABA transporter 1 (GAT1). This transporter is responsible for the reuptake of GABA from the synaptic cleft, and its inhibition by CX-1739 could lead to increased levels of GABA in the brain.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
CX-1739 has been studied for its potential use in the treatment of cognitive disorders. However, as of 2021, it is not currently approved for use in any country.
