Description

MRK-623 (Compound 14k) is an orally active, high-affinity GABAA receptor agonist, with the Ki values of 0.85 nM, 3.7 nM, 4.0 nM, and 0.53 nM for α1, α2, α3, and α5, respectively. MRK-623 shows anxiolytic effect[1].

In Vitro

MRK-623 shows efficacy at human GABAA receptor subtypes expressed in L(tk-) cells measured by whole cell patch-clamp electrophysiology[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

MRK-623 (oral gavage; 0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg; once) shows anxiolytic effects in the rat elevated plus maze assay[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
