CGP7930 was developed in Novartis and has been used extensively for scientific research. It has anxiolytic effects in animal studies,[6][7] and has a synergistic effect with GABAB agonists such as baclofen and GHB,[8][9] as well as reducing self-administration of alcoholic drinks and cocaine.[10][11]
