ETK-II-83
ETK-II-83 is an orally effective and blood-brain barrier-penetrant ligand for the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor. ETK-II-83 displaces 3H-flunitrazepam from rat brain GABAA receptors and selectively binds to the α5-containing subtype. ETK-II-83 can be used for anxiety research.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
ETK-II-83 (300 μM; 18 h) shows no significant cytotoxicity in HEK293T cells up to 300 μM[1].
ETK-II-83 selectively binds α5-containing GABAA receptors with an IC50 of 18.3 nM[1].
ETK-II-83 (10 μM; 2 h) undergoes rapid phase I metabolism in mouse liver microsomes with a half-life of 5.33 min[1].
ETK-II-83 (10 μM; 4 h) has an unbound plasma fraction of 6.4% in mouse plasma[1].
ETK-II-83 (10 μM; 4 h) exhibits a free brain fraction of 12.7% in mouse brain homogenate[1].

Parmacokinetics
In Vivo
ETK-II-83 (40 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration; 60 min before testing) significantly reduces marble-burying behavior in mice, suggesting anxiolytic-like activity[1].
ETK-II-83 (40 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration; 60 min before testing) does not induce sedation or alter locomotor behavior in mice in the open field test[1].
ETK-II-83 (40 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration; 60 min before testing) does not impair sensorimotor coordination in mice in the rotarod test[1].
