ZK-93423 is an anxiolytic drug from the β-Carboline family, closely related to abecarnil.[1] It is a nonbenzodiazepine GABAA agonist which is not subtype selective and stimulates α1, α2, α3, and α5-subunit containing GABAA receptors equally.[2] It has anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and appetite stimulating properties comparable to benzodiazepine drugs.[3][4][5][6] ZK-93423 has also been used as a base to develop new and improved beta-carboline derivatives and help map the binding site of the GABAA receptor.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
