LY451395 (Mibampator) is a powerful, highly selective and biarylsulfonamide potentiator of AMPA receptors [1].
LY451395 (Mibampator) has been found to be a potent, selective and centrally active positive allosteric modulators of AMPA receptor-mediated neurotransmission, which enhances ion channel flux in the presence of agonist by inhibiting desensitization and deactivation of the receptors. In addition, LY451395 has been revealed to enhance synaptic transmission. Besides, LY451395 has been reported to attenuate the response to acute ethanol administration in the rat in vivo [1]. Moreover, the in vivo metabolisms of LY451395 in mouse, rat, dog and human have produced several phase 1 oxidative metabolites [2].
