In Vitro | [3H]Carabersat ([3H]SB 204269) binds to rat forebrain membranes with moderate affinity (Kd 40 nM) and pKi values of 7.3[1]. Carabersat is able to bind to mouse forebrain membranes, and the binding is saturable and stereospecific, with a Kd of 53 nM. The labelled [3H]Carabersat produces a Kd of 32 nM[2]. Carabersat (SB-204269, 1-100 μM) has no effect on Na+ current in cultured hippocampal neurones. Carabersat also shows no effect on action potential discharges evoked by elevating external K+[3]. Carabersat (SB-204269) is structurally-related to the benzopyran ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) opener, cromakalim, but has opposite stereochemistry, and the mechanism of action of Carabersat is not thought to involve KATP[4]. |
In Vivo | Carabersat (5b) significantly elevates anticonvulsant activity in mice[1]. |
Animal Admin | Mice[1] In this model, groups of 10-20 naive mice (25-30 g) are assessed for production of a tonic hindlimb extension seizure following a single corneal electroshock using an "up and down" method of shock titration. The effects of drug treatment are expressed as a percentage change from vehicle control values and statistical comparisons between groups are made. Carabersat is administered orally as a fine suspension in 1% methylcellulose one hour before electroshock application[1]. |
