Abstract

Optogenetic and photopharmacological tools to manipulate neuronal inhibition have limited efficacy and reversibility. We report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of Fulgazepam, a fulgimide derivative of benzodiazepine that behaves as a pure potentiator of ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABA(A)Rs) and displays full and reversible photoswitching in vitro and in vivo. ...
