FGIN-1-27
Discontinued Product
Chemical Name: N,N-Dihexyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)indole-3-acetamide
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
Binds specifically and with high affinity to the peptide DBI receptor (benzodiazepine receptor) on mitochondrial membranes, inducing production of neurosteroids, which modulate GABA receptors (EC50 = 3 nM for increase in production of pregnenolone in glial cells). Thus it reduces anxiety without causing sedation.Technical Data
