SB-205,384 is an anxiolytic drug. It has similar effects to benzodiazepine drugs, but is structurally distinct and so is classed as a nonbenzodiazepine anxiolytic.
SB-205,384 is a subtype selective GABAA partial agonist, which binds preferentially to the α3 subtype.[1] It has a novel mechanism of action, prolonging the duration of GABA-mediated chloride flux but without increasing the intensity of the response, and this may give it an unusual pharmacological profile,[2] with tests showing that it alters the firing of some populations of neurons while leaving others unaffected.[3] Animal studies have shown it to produce both anxiolytic and anti-aggressive effects, but with little sedation or other behavioural changes.[4][5]
