Abstract:
Provided herein are alpha5-containing GABAA receptor agonists and pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of cognitive and mood symptoms in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders using them.
Abstract:
Substituted benzo[f]imidazo[1,5-α][1,4]diazepines of formula (I′) target alpha-4 and alpha-5 GABAA receptors for use in the treatment of airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in asthma. Compounds selectively partition to the peripheral compartment and have reduced CNS effects.
Abstract:
Provided herein are alpha5-containing GABAA receptor agonists and pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of cognitive and mood symptoms in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders using them.
Abstract:
Described herein are α3 or α2 or α2/α3 GABAergic receptor subtype selective ligands, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of use of such ligands and compositions in treatment of anxiety disorders, epilepsy and schizophrenia with reduced sedative and ataxic side effects. In embodiments, such as α3 or α2 or α2/α3 GABAergic receptor subtype selective ligands lack ester linkages and may be thus relatively insensitive to hydrolysis by esterases.
Abstract:
The present invention describes substituted benzo[f]imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepines of the formula (I):
wherein R1, R2, R2′, R3, and X are as disclosed herein. These compounds target alpha-4 and alpha-5 GABAa receptors and are useful for the treatment of airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in asthma.
Abstract:
Provided herein are alpha5-containing GABAA receptor agonists and pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of cognitive and mood symptoms in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders using them.
Abstract:
Novel methods of treating inflammation and airway constriction using GABAergic compounds with reduced benzo-diazepine-like CNS activity are provided. Novel compounds which selectively target alpha-4 and alpha-5 GABAA receptors and methods of using those compounds to treat bronchoconstriction and inflammation are provided herein.

Abstract:
Substituted 5-(4-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-benzo[f]imidazo[1,5-a][1.4]diazepin-3-yl)-1.2.4-oxadiazole compounds are ligands for the k opioid receptor and inhibit inducible nitric oxide synthase. The compounds have utility to inhibit NO production and treat associated inflammatory conditions.
