Alpidem (Ananxyl) is a new anxiolytic of imidazopyridine structure which has a high affinity for the omega 1 (BZ1) modulatory site of the GABAA receptor. Alpidem was known to act selectively on the α3 receptor subtype and to a lesser extent at the α1 subtype (Kd of 0.33nM and 1.67nM respectively), of the benzodiazepine receptor. At low concentrations (25-50 microM), in contrast, alpidem accelerated calcium-induced MPT in mitochondria. Alpidem (10 microM) increased the toxicity of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (1 ng/ml) in hepatocytes. Alpidem induced dose-related stimulus control, and dose-related and complete substitution for alpidem was produced by zolpidem, abecarnil, CL 218,872, triazolam and suriclone. Moreover, withdrawal of alpidem did not induce any change in the convulsant activity of beta-CCM. Alpidem produced little or no sedative or hypnotic action at normal doses but may have produced sedation when used at a high dose, and only had anticonvulsant actions at much higher doses than those used clinically for the treatment of anxiety.
