Biological Activity
[Description]:
Pivagabine (CXB 722), a psychoactive drug, is a hydrophobic 4-aminobutyric acid derivative with neuromodulatory activity. Pivagabine penetrates the blood-brain barrier in rats. Pivagabine antagonizes the effects of foot shock on both GABAA receptor function and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) concentrations in rat brain[1][2].

[In Vivo]
Pivagabine (CXB 722) (200 mg/kg; i.p.; twice a day for 4 days and 1 hour before killing on the 5th day) prevents the effects of foot-shock stress on CRF concentration in both brain regions[2]. Animal Model: Adult male Sprague-Dawley CD rats (200-250 g)[2] Dosage: 200 mg/kg Administration: i.p.; twice a day for 4 days and 1 hour before killing on the 5th day Result: Prevented the effects of foot-shock stress on CRF concentration in both brain regions. Reduced by 52% the CRF concentration in the hypothalamus but had no effect on that in the cerebral cortex.
