Abstract

Substituted quinolone carboxylic acids and their derivatives are described. These compounds modulate the effect of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via a novel site on the GABA A receptor complex in a therapeutically relevant fashion and may be used to ameliorate CNS disorders amenable to modulation of the GABA A receptor complex.
