Emapunil (AC-5216), an orally active and selective TSPO (a mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor) ligand, produces anti-anxiety and antidepressant-like effects in various animal models[1][2].
Emapunil (AC-5216, 0.1-3, 0.003-0.01 and 0.01-0.3 mg/kg, p.o.) produces anti-anxiety effects in the Vogel-type conflict test in rats, and in the light/dark box and social interaction tests in mice[1].
Emapunil (AC-5216, 3-30 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces the immobility time, and this effect was blocked by PK11195[1].
Emapunil (AC-5216, 1-100 mg/kg, p.o.) produces no distinct change in the rat electroencephalogram[1].
Emapunil (AC-5216, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg, i.g.) causes significant suppression of the enhanced anxiety and contextual fear induced in post-TDS rats[3].
Emapunil (AC-5216, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg, i.g.) alleviates the enhanced anxiety and fear response in a time-dependent sensitization (TDS) procedure, a rat PTSD animal model[3].
Emapunil (AC-5216, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg, i.g.) reverses the increased plasma glucose (PG) and decreased insulin (INS) in HFD-STZ rats[4].
