Etifoxine hydrochloride_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Etifoxine hydrochloride, a non-benzodiazepine GABAergic compound, is a positive allosteric modulator of α1β2γ2 and α1β3γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors. Etifoxine hydrochloride reveals anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties in rodents[1][2][3].
Invitro	Etifoxine (EFX), at concentrations ranging from 10 to 300 μM (higher concentrations limited its solubility), produces a dose-dependent increase in the [3H]muscimol binding at equilibrium, to 155±2% of its control value at 300 μM EFX[1].
In Vivo	Etifoxine competitively inhibits [35S]TBPS binding with micromolar potency in rat brain[1].Etifoxine (3.125-50 mg/kg) exhibits more pronounced anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects in the BALB/cByJ mice compared to the C57BL/6J mice[3]. Animal Model:
