title: HPLC-based activity profiling for GABA(A) receptor modulators: a new dihydroisocoumarin from Haloxylon scoparium.
abstract: A new dihydroisocoumarin was isolated from a dichloromethane extract of Haloxylon scoparium with the aid of a functional assay with Xenopus oocytes transiently expressing GABA(A) receptors of defined subunit composition (alpha(1)beta(2)gamma(2S)). Compound 1 induced a maximum potentiation of the chloride currents by 144.6 +/- 35.3% with an EC(50) of 140.2 +/- 51.2 muM.
