Notes: Lorediplon is a ligand for α1 subunit-containing GABAA receptors.{40790} In vivo, lorediplon inhibits spontaneous motor activity and increases duration of sleep in mice (ED50s = 0.13 and 1.2 mg/kg, respectively). It selectively inhibits spontaneous motor activity, which is driven by α1 subunit-containing GABAA receptors, over modification of muscular tone in mice, an α2 subunit-containing GABAA receptor-stimulated activity.{40791} Lorediplon (0.13 and 1.2 mg/kg) also decreases latency to slow wave sleep (SWS) and paradoxical sleep (PS) in mice.{40792} Formulations containing lorediplon have been used in the treatment of insomnia.
