Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals for KRM-II-81
KRM-II-81 is an orally bioavailable imidazodiazepines that acts as a GABA-A receptor potentiator (GABAkine). It is being developed for the treatment of pain.
The compounds described in these articles were efficacious as anticonvulsants and the most characterized of these, KRM-II-81, KPP-III-34, displayed robust activity in more advanced anti-seizure models. All compounds were effective without producing sedative effects.
KRM-II-81 analogs enhances the GABAergic neurotransmission and function as orally-bioavailable anti-seizure agents in the absence of the sedation typically associated with GABA augmentation.
GABAkine, KRM-II-81, has been shown to be effective in relieving acute, chronic, and neuropathic pain without tolerance development. KRM-II-81 preferentially bound to specific subtypes of GABAA receptors to inhibit pain sensory neurons in the spinal dorsal root ganglia.
KRM-II-81 has a preclinical profile predicting efficacy against pharmacoresistant epilepsies, traumatic brain injury, and neuropathic pain. KRM-II-81 also produces anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects in rodent models.
RespireRx Pharmaceuticals has entered into a patent license agreement for GABAA receptor neuromodulator intellectual property from UWM Research Foundation.
