Biological Activity

Description 6-Hydroxyflavone, a naturally occurring flavonoid, binds to GABAA receptors with moderate affinity and acts as a partial agonist of GABAA receptors.
Targets
GABAA receptor [1]
In vitro 6HF binds to GABAA receptors with moderate affinity[1].
In vivo In mice, 6HF exhibits anxiolytic-like effect in the elevated plus-maze test, unaccompanied at anxiolytic doses by the sedative, cognitive impairing, myorelaxant, motor incoordination and anticonvulsant effects commonly associated with classical BZs when tested in the hole-board, step-through passive avoidance, horizontal wire, rotarod, and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizure tests, respectively[1].
