How S-8510 works
S-8510 is a BZD partial inverse agonist to the BZD site on the GABA-A receptors in the central nervous system. As an inverse agonist (which as a group elicit CNS effects such as insomnia, agitation, and proconvulsant behaviors), S-8510 functions as a negative modulator of the GABA-A receptor. S-8510, however, is a partial inverse agonist, which means it has a lower affinity for the BZD binding site than do full agonists, and studies in animals have shown that the drug does not induce convulsions or anxiety.
