L-822179 is a triazolophthalazine that selectively attenuates the effects of GABA at GABA(A) receptors containing an alpha5 subunit. It is an orally active, functionally selective compound, which enhances cognition in animals without anxiogenic or convulsant effects. The dose-limiting adverse event of L-822179 is dizziness and/or light-headedness. L-822179 does not improve cognitive performance in the elderly; indeed the dose of 4 mg actually significantly impairs performance. In this regard, it could therefore be considered that this study is a failed trial in so far as the positive control, lorazepam, does not show the anticipated effect.

Sample Use Guides

4-mg 2 h prior to drinking ethanol
Route of Administration: Oral
The affinity at native rat brain GABAA receptors, 0.9–1.2 nM, is similar to that observed in recombinant human receptors and suggests that α5IA does not show marked interspecies differences in affinity.
