General description
Gaboxadol, also referred to as 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo(5,4-c)pyridin-3-ol (THIP), is a GABA site agonist. It has great affinity to the δ subunit of extrasynaptic high-affinity GABAA receptors. Gaboxadol was first developed for the treatment of schizophrenia, epilepsy, primary insomnia and Huntington′s disease. It can easily cross the blood-brain barrier and is rapidly absorbed by the body.

The thio analogues of the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) agonist THIP (4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-3-ol), the GABA uptake inhibitor THPO (4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-3-ol), and the glycine antagonist THAZ (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-isoxazolo[4,5-d]azepin-3-ol) have been synthesized and tested biologically on single neurons in the cat spinal cord and in vitro

This paper reviews the sleep effects of systemically administered agonistic modulators of GABAA receptors, including barbiturates, benzodiazepines, zolpidem, zopiclone and neuroactive steroids, and the selective GABAA agonists muscimol and THIP. To assess the involvement of GABAA receptors in the physiologic

Although sleep appears to be broadly conserved in animals, the physiological functions of sleep remain unclear. In this study, we sought to identify a physiological defect common to a diverse group of short-sleeping Drosophila mutants, which might provide insight into
