ADX-71441 is a GABAB receptor positive allosteric modulator currently being investigated as a potential treatment for anxiety, epilepsy, pain and other conditions.

Therapeutic potential

[edit]

Addiction

[edit]

ADX-71441 has been shown to reduce alcohol consumption.[1] This result was observed in both alcohol dependent and non-dependent animals.[2][3]

There were also trials about nicotine addiction, which showed positive results: ADX-71441 was able to decrease some withdrawal symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.[4]

Anxiety

[edit]

This compound has also been shown to reduce anxiety in people with PTSD.[5]

Pain

[edit]

Experiments have shown that this compound was able to decrease hypersensitivity to pain in mice, Guinea pigs and rats.[5]

Tolerance

[edit]

ADX-71441 has been shown to have less tolerance and side effects than direct GABAB agonists, such as baclofen.[2]
