6-Chloro-3'-nitroflavone is a potent ligand for the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABA(A) receptor devoid of intrinsic activity
6-Chloro-3'-nitroflavone integrates a list of nearly 70 flavone derivatives synthesized in our laboratories. The effects of 6-chloro-3'- nitroflavone on the benzodiazepine binding sites (BDZ-BSs) of the GABA(A) receptor were examined in vitro and in vivo. 6-Chloro-3'-nitroflavone inhi...

In vivo experiments showed that 6-chloro-3'-nitroflavone did not possess anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, myorelaxant actions in mice or amnestic effects in rats; however, 6-chloro-3'-nitroflavone antagonized diazepam-induced antianxiety action, anticonvulsion, short-term, and long- term amnesia and motor incoordination. These biochemical, electrophysiological, and pharmacological results suggest that 6-chloro-3'- nitroflavone behaves as an antagonist of the BDZ-BSs.
