Product Description: Fenobam (Standard) is the analytical standard of Fenobam. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Fenobam is a selective and orally active mGluR5 antagonist (IC50=84 nM) that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Fenobam shows the Kd values of 54 nM and 31 nM on rat and human recombinant mGlu5 receptors, respectively. Fenobam has anxiolytic activity, inhibits self-administration behavior in mice, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Fenobam can be used for research on neurological diseases, cancer and drug addiction[1][2][3].
Formula: C11H11ClN4O2
