  • Activity: CGS 20625 acts as a partial agonist at GABA(A) receptors (EC50 = 11.2-23.7 µM)1. It is a potent and selective non-benzodiazepine ligand at the central benzodiazepine receptor (IC50 = 1.3 nM), with anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects in vivo2.

Scientific background

CGS 20625 is a synthetic compound that acts as a potent and selective partial agonist of GABA(A) receptors.CGS 20625 is a pyrazolopyridine compound that possesses anxiolytic and anticonvulsant characteristics. It binds to a specific recognition site on GABAA receptors containing α1, α2, α3, and α5 subunits1-3.GABA(A) receptors are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. They mediate GABA actions, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, throughout the central nervous system where it plays an important role in inhibiting cell excitation. GABA(A) receptors are a major target for antiseizure drugs4.
