Application

Rc-Ome may be used in GABAA-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rc-OMe is a GABAA PAM that distinguishes α1β2γ2s from α1β2 receptors. The compound has very weak potentiating effects on α1β2, but potentiates GABA-elicited currents of α(123)β2γ2s receptors, all with low μM EC50s. Rc-OMe acts at a binding site that is distinct from BDZ, pentobarbital and loreclezole modulatory sites.
