Description of Loreclezole

Loreclezole is a sedative and anticonvulsant drug that acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, selectively stimulating receptors containing β2 or β3 subunits[1]. Loreclezole is also an effective negative modulator of ρ1 GABAC receptors, with an IC50 of 0.5µM[2].

In vitro, Loreclezole (3-30µM) treatment of L929 fibroblasts increased the apparent desensitization degree and rate of whole-cell currents in a concentration-dependent manner at concentrations above 6µM. This effect is voltage-independent and is enhanced with increasing GABA concentrations[3].

In vivo, Loreclezole (5 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally in amygdala-kindled epilepsy model rats significantly reduced seizure occurrences and afterdischarge duration[4]. In Lister Hooded rats, Loreclezole (0, 25, 50, or 75 mg/kg) dose-dependently increased the seizure threshold[5]. Loreclezole (50 mg/kg) administered orally in β2N265S transgenic mice did not show significant protective effects against pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures[6].

Protocol of Loreclezole

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

L929 fibroblasts

Preparation method

Dissolve Loreclezole in 100% DMSO and add to the external solution at concentrations 3-30µM. Currents were recorded with an EPC-7 or an Axopatch 1-B patch clamp amplifier, recorded on hard disk using the Axotape Program and stored on VHS or Beta tape.

Reaction Conditions

3-30µM

Applications

Loreclezole at concentrations above 6μM, enhanced the degree and rate of apparent desensitization of the whole-cell current in a concentration-dependent manner. 

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Amygdala-kindled rats

Preparation method

Loreclezole(5mg/kg), diphenylhydantoin and clonazepam were suspended in 1% Tween 80 solution. All drugs were administered intraperitoneally.

Dosage form

5mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

Loreclezole administered at 5mg/kg, significantly diminished seizure and after discharge durations in amygdala-kindled rats.
