MRK-898
GABA(A) Receptor Modulator
MRK-898 is an orally active modulator of the GABA(A) receptor, selectively binding to the α1, α2, α3, and α5 subunits with Ki values of 1.2 nM, 1.0 nM, 0.73 nM, and 0.50 nM, respectively. This compound is significant for distinguishing between the sedative effects mediated by α1-containing receptors and the anxiolytic properties associated with α2- and/or α3-containing subtypes. MRK-898 is valuable for research investigating the therapeutic potential for anxiety and sleep disorders through GABAergic modulation.
