Bioactivity | SR-8993 is a highly selective nociceptin receptor agonist that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and has the activity of reducing alcohol intake and relieving withdrawal anxiety. SR-8993 has shown mild anxiolytic effects in animal models and can effectively reverse anxiety caused by acute alcohol withdrawal. SR-8993 further reduces restricted drinking, operant responses for alcohol, and increased drinking induced by long-term intermittent exposure to alcohol. SR-8993 also reduces stress- and cue-related alcohol-seeking relapse[1]. |
