Fenobam is a selective and potent metabotropic glutamate (mGlu)5 receptor antagonist with inverse agonist activity. Fenobam was previously investigated as an anxiolytic in a number of phase II studies in the early 1980s. These studies revealed a mixed picture of anxiolytic efficacy, with double blind, placebo controlled trials variously reporting the compound as active or inactive. This discrepancy was not easily reconciled based on patient numbers, dose level, duration of treatment, or outcome measures. The positive effects seen in animal models of fragile X syndrome (FXS) treated with fenobam or other mGluR5 antagonists, the apparent lack of clinically significant adverse effects, and the potential beneficial clinical effects seen in this pilot trial support further study of the compound in adults with FXS.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Twelve subjects, recruited from two fragile X clinics, received a single oral dose of 50-150 mg of fenobam.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Fenobam rarely exhibits cytotoxic effects in C6 cells at concentrations of 50-150 ng/ml. Fenobam (150 ng/ml) strongly enhanced the protective effect of PEP-1-FK506BP against H2O2-induced toxicity and DNA fragmentation in C6 cells.
