| Bioactivity | Chloralose (α-Chloralose) is a central nervous system depressant. Chloralose (α-Chloralose) allosterically modulates GABAA receptor activity and binds to a site on the GABAA receptor complex, neurosteroid, and barbiturate sites[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | EC50: 49 μM (GABA receptor) | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Chloralose (α-Chloralose) activates the gama-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced chloride conductance of gama-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes with an EC50 value of 49 μM[1] | ||||||||||||
