Alpidem
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Alpidem, an anxiolytic agent, is an orally active and brain-penetrant GABAA receptor ligand, binds to α1β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors (IC50 of 17 nM) over α5β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors (IC50 of >10 μM). Alpidem modulates calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition, induces glutathione depletion and hepatocyte necrosis, potentiates TNF-α toxicity, inhibits marble-burying and locomotor activity, enhances stressed rodent feeding behavior, and exerts anticonvulsant effects. Alpidem can be used for the research of anxiety, anxiety disorders, and convulsions.

Alpidem selectively binds to the omega-1 receptor, shows much lower affinity for the omega-2 receptor, and displays extremely high affinity for the omega-3 receptor in rat brain membrane preparations[1].
Alpidem binds to immobilised Human Serum Albumin with a Kd of 2 μM[2].
Alpidem (25-500 μM) exerts dual concentration-dependent effects on calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition in isolated rat liver mitochondria, accelerating MPT at 25-50 μM and preventing MPT at 250-500 μM, while having no effect on MPT when tested alone without Ca2+[3].
Alpidem (10-500 μM) induces concentration-dependent toxicity in isolated rat hepatocytes, causing glutathione depletion and necrotic cell death at 250-500 μM (prevented by cystine but not cyclosporin A), glutathione-independent cell death at 25-50 μM (prevented by Cyclosporin A (HY-B0579) but not cystine), and enhanced TNF-α toxicity at 10 μM[3].
Alpidem exhibits nanomolar binding affinity for both peripheral benzodiazepine receptors (Ki = 0.5-7 nM) and central benzodiazepine receptors (Ki = 1-28 nM) in rat tissue preparations[4].
Alpidem (increasing concentrations; 60 min at 4°C) displays monophasic displacement of [3H]Flumazenil binding in adult rat cerebellum with an IC50 of 6.3 nM, and triphasic displacement in adult rat hippocampus with high (IC50 6.3 nM), intermediate (IC50 122 nM), and low (IC50 2300 nM) affinity components accounting for 35%, 42%, and 24% of total binding, respectively[8].
Alpidem binds to both central and peripheral benzodiazepine receptors in rat cerebral cortex membrane preparations[9].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Alpidem (20-100 mg/kg; p.o.; i.p.) exerts anxiolytic-like effects in rat anxiety models, with a unique profile compared to benzodiazepines, including lack of anticonflict activity in punished lever-pressing and no benzodiazepine-like discriminative stimulus[1].
Alpidem (10-30 mg/kg; i.p.) exhibits anticonvulsant activity in multiple mouse convulsion models with ED50 values ranging from 10 mg/kg to 30 mg/kg, and its effects are mediated by central omega receptors as demonstrated by Flumazenil (HY-B0009) antagonism[1].
Alpidem (8.5-100 mg/kg; i.p.; 40-80 mg/kg; p.o.) induces motor impairment in mice at ED50 values of 70 mg/kg (rotarod) and 100 mg/kg (loaded grid) (i.p.), and impairs memory only at high doses (40-80 mg/kg, p.o.) that also reduce exploratory activity[1].
Alpidem (3 mg/kg; i.v., p.o.; single dose) shows preferential localization in lipid-rich tissues including the central nervous system, high biliary and fecal excretion, and a terminal plasma half-life of 1.2-1.7 hours in Sprague-Dawley rats[6].
Alpidem (4 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) produces a weak anxiolytic effect in the mouse four plates test, significantly increasing punished crossings by 40%[10].
Alpidem (0.25-8 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) does not produce significant myorelaxant effects in the mouse rotarod test at doses up to 8 mg/kg, with increased falls at higher doses linked to sedation[10].
Alpidem (4-32 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) dose-dependently reduces spontaneous locomotor activity in mice, with significant suppression starting at 8 mg/kg and maximum suppression at 32 mg/kg[10].
Alpidem (4-32 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose; 30 minutes pre-test) produces a weak anti-conflict effect in the rat operant conflict paradigm only at the highest tested dose of 32 mg/kg, which also causes significant suppression of unpunished lever press performance[10].
