Double carbene can be used for the study of schizophrenia and alcoholism. It can block dopamine receptors in various parts of the brain and prevent the reduction of conditioned defense reflexes caused by the stimulation of the mid-brain part of the networ
Pyrithiamine is the pyridine analog of thiamine that prevents growth of organisms that require intact thiamine. [1] It inhibits the growth of bacterial and fungal species at a pyrithiamine:thiamine ratio of 10:1 in growth media and induces symptoms of thiamine deficiency in mice at a dietary ratio of 3:1. These effects are reversible with addition of sufficient thiamine in all species. Pyrithiamine inhibits the formation of cocarboxylase from thiamine in chicken blood in a dose-dependent manner. [2] It has been used to induce thiamine deficiency in various disease models, including rat models of alcoholism and diencephalic amnesia, to study the effects of thiamine deficiency on disease pathology.[3] [4] Reference:[1].

Amitifadine(DOV-21947, EB-1010) is an inhibitor of the so-called triple reuptake or serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI) and is an antidepressant drug candidate. Amitifadine reduces binge drinking and negative affect in an animal m
ADX71441 is a GABAB positive allosteric modulator (PAM). ADX71441 increases urinary latencies and reduces the number of urinary events and the total and average urinary volumes. ADX71441 may also mitigate alcoholism and have analgesic effects in the bladd
