Uses

CGP 35348 hydrate has been used as a γ-aminobutyric acid-B (GABA_B) receptor inhibitor:

• to study its effects on intrinsic optical signal (IOS) in rat hippocampus
• alone or in combination with sodium salicylate to study its effects on auditory responses in the rat′s dorsal cortex of rat
• to study its effects on hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCC)

Biological Activity

Selective, brain penetrant GABA B receptor antagonist (IC 50 = 34 μ M as measured in rat cortical membranes). Has higher affinity for postsynaptic versus presynaptic receptors.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CGP 35348 is a γ-aminobutyric acid-B (GABAB) receptor antagonist. It has a higher affinity towards post-versus presynaptic receptors that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier.
