ZK 93423 hydrochloride is a potent benzodiazepine agonist. Non-selective with GABAA receptors containing alpha1-, alpha2-, alpha3- and alpha5-subunits. ZK93423 stands as a robust agonist for benzodiazepine receptors with remarkable potency (IC50 = 1 nM). This compound exhibits non-selectivity among GABAA receptors containing α1, α2, α3, and α5 subunits, as reflected in its Ki values: 4.1, 4.2, 6, and 4.5 nM for inhibiting [3H]Ro15-1788 binding to human recombinant α1β3γ2, α2β3γ2, α3β3γ2, and α5β3γ2 receptors, respectively.
