Abstract

Imidazenil, a new partial benzodiazepine receptor agonist, failed to change GABA(A) receptor function in the brain of untreated mice. On the contrary, this drug reduced both the increase of [35S]TBPS binding and the convulsions elicited by isoniazid. The results suggest that imidazenil has a greater pharmacological efficacy when the GABAergic transmission is reduced.
