TABLE 4

pKi values and Hill slopes of selective synaptic vesicle protein (SV)2A ligands and diazepam for sites labeled with 0.9 nM [3H]padsevonil on recombinant human SV2A/B/C and on human and rat cortex at 37°C. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. (n = 3–10) and were obtained from nonlinear regression analysis of untransformed raw data using a sigmoidal dose-response model with variable slope. Missing values could not be calculated because of incomplete competition curves as a result of compound solubility limits.
