Methods are provided that are useful in assaying compounds for cognitive enhancing properties, anxiolytic properties, hypnotic properties, or antidepressant properties. These methods involve determining the <i>in vitro</i> efficacy and EC50 of the compounds at defined series of cloned GABAA subtype receptors composed of specific variants of .alpha.,.beta., and .gamma. subunits in order to develop and an activity profile for each compound. Optionally, the binding affinities of the compounds at GABAA receptors are also determined. As an additional step the <i>in vivo</i> effects of the compounds may be tested in animal models.

L'invention concerne des méthodes de dosage de composés présentant des propriétés cognitives améliorées, des propriétés anxiolytiques, des propriétés hypnotiques ou des effets antidépresseurs. Ces méthodes consistent à déterminer l'efficacité <i>in vitro</i> et l'EC¿50? des composés dans des séries définies de récepteurs de sous-type de GABA¿A? clonés composés de variants spécifiques de sous-unités .alpha.,.beta. et .gamma. afin d'élaborer un profil d'activité pour chaque composé. Eventuellement, les affinités de liaison des composés dans les récepteurs de GABA¿A? sont également déterminées. Dans une phase supplémentaire, on peut mettre à l'essai les effets <i>in vivo</i> des composés chez des modèles animaux.
