Biochem/physiol Actions
Alpidem is a potent antagonist of peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) that is located on the outer mitochondrial membrane and interacts with the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore. Alpidem is an anxiolytic drug from the imidazopyridine family. Alpidem acts 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.
Alpidem is a potent peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) antagonist.
