Alpidem is an anxiolytic agent.1 It selectively binds to α1β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors over α5β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors in HEK293 cells (IC50s = 0.017 and ≥10 µM, respectively, for the recombinant rat receptors).2 Alpidem also binds to the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex and translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) with IC50 values of 0.028 and 0.0079 µM, respectively.3 It reduces marble burying in mice, indicating anxiolytic activity, with a minimum effective dose (MED) of 10 mg/kg.4 Unlike the benzodiazepine alprazolam, alpidem does not induce sedation in mice when administered at doses up to 2 mg/kg.5 Formulations containing alpidem have previously been used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
