6-Methylflavone

CAS: 29976-75-8

6-Methylflavone is a synthetic flavonoid, which is derived from the structural modification of natural flavonoids commonly found in various plants. This compound has garnered interest due to its pharmacological potential, particularly as a modulator of the central nervous system. The mode of action of 6-Methylflavone involves its interaction with the GABA_A receptors, where it is believed to function as a positive allosteric modulator. This interaction enhances the inhibitory effects of GABA, a primary neurotransmitter in the brain, thereby potentially exerting anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects.
