Description

2'MeO6MF is a brain-penetrant positive allosteric modulator at α2β1γ2L and all α1-containing GABAA receptors. 2'MeO6MF also can directly activate α2β2/3 and α2β2/3γ2L GABAA receptors. 2'MeO6MF has anxiolytic and psychomotor stabilizing properties. 2'MeO6MF offers neuroprotection and improved functional recovery and dampens the stroke-induced inflammatory response .

Biological activity

In Vitro 2'MeO6MF (100-300 µM; 60 min) weakly displaces [3H]-flunitrazepam binding to rat brain synaptosomal membranes by 5-10%. 2'MeO6MF enhances [3H]-muscimol binding to rat brain synaptic membranes in a concentration-dependent manner yielding a mean Emax of 219.8% and apparent EC50=20.8 nM. 2'MeO6MF (1-300 µM) enhances the response elicited by a low concentration of GABA in a concentration-dependent manner at recombinant α1β2γ2L GABAA receptors expressed in XenopusM oocytes. 2'MeO6MF enhances the response elicited by GABA at recombinant α1β1,3γ2L and α1β2 GABAA receptors without any direct activation. 2'MeO6MF (1-10 µM; 60 min) increases tonic inhibitory currents in a concentration-dependent manner in granule cells. 2'MeO6MF (100-1000 µM; 6.5 h) inhibits the LPS-induced increase of NFkB activity in RAWblueTM macrophage cells. In Vivo 2'MeO6MF (1-100 mg/kg; i.p.) displays anxiolytic-like effects in the elevated plus maze and light/dark tests. 2'MeO6MF induces sedative effects at higher doses in the holeboard, actimeter and barbiturate-induced sleep time tests. 2'MeO6MF (30 mg/kg; i.p.) increases tonic currents in layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of mice after stroke. 2'MeO6MF (0.1-30 mg/kg; i.p.) is neuroprotective and enhances functional recovery after focal cerebral ischaemia in mice.
