Pipequaline (PK 8165) is a partial benzodiazepine receptor agonist with anxiolytic activity
In Vivo
Intravenously administered pipequaline exerts a partial suppression of activations by kainate, glutamate and acetylcholine. Microiontophoretic applications of pipequaline reduces the neuronal activation by kainate. Pipequaline produces dose-related decreases in motor activity. Pipequaline produces significant dose-related decreases in the number of head-dips made. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
