Product Description: CGS 8216 is a non-benzodiazepine brain benzodiazepine receptor ligand that binds to rat forebrain membranes with high affinity and specificity. CGS 8216 also inhibits 3H-flunitrazepam (3H-FLU) binding to rat synaptosomal membranes and blocks 3H-FLU labeling of brain benzodiazepine receptors in vivo with potency equivalent to Diazepam[1].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C16H11N3O
