U 93631 is a synthetic compound that acts as an antagonist of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A GABA(A) receptors and of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3A (5-HT3A) receptors, displaying an IC50 of 50 µM for the serotonin receptor4. The compound accelerates the decay of GABA induced currents through an allosteric manner. The properties of U 93631 are shown to be analogous to those of picrotoxin and both share overlapping binding domains1,2.GABA(A) receptors and 5-HT3 (serotonin-gated) receptor channels are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. These receptors are expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and mediate a variety of important physiological functions. GABA(A) receptors mediate the actions of GABA, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. 5-HT3 receptors mediate those of serotonin3.

1-10 µM.

U 93631 is a ligand at the picrotoxin site of GABA(A) receptors, allosterically antagonizing GABA-induced Cl- currents by decreasing single-channel open probability1 and accelerating current decay (Kd = 2 µM)2. It is also an antagonist of 5-HT3A receptors (IC50 = 50 µM)3.
