Abstract excerpt
Benz[e]indenes are tricyclic analogs of neuroactive steroids and can be modulators of GABA(A) receptor activity. We have examined the mechanisms of action of the benz[e]indene compound [3S-(3alpha,3aalpha,5abeta,7beta,9aalpha,9bbeta)]-dodecahydro-7-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3a-methyl-1H-benz[e]indene-3-carbonitrile (BI-2) using single-channel patch-clamp and whole-cell recordings from human embryonic kidney cells...
