Abstract
A class of imidazo[1,2-α]pyrazine analogues substituted in the 3-position by a substituted phenyl ring, being selective ligands for GABAreceptors which interact more favourably with the α2 and/or α3 subunit than with the α1 subunit, are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of a variety of disorders of the central nervous system, including anxiety and convulsions, with a reduced propensity to cause sedation.
