Infobox references

TCS 1205 is a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator of the tryptamine family. It is a benzodiazepine site agonist selective for certain subunits.

Pharmacology

TCS 1205 acts at the benzodiazepine binding site, it is selective for the α1 and α2 subunits of the GABAA receptor.[1] In vivo, it has anxiolytic effects but no sedative effects.[2][3]

Chemistry

Despite acting at the benzodiazepine receptor, it does not contain the benzodiazepine structure, it could therefore be classed as a nonbenzodiazepine. The drug is a substituted tryptamine derivative.
