The pharmacological profiles of a new benzodiazepine derivative, 1-(beta-methylsulfonylethyl)-5-(o-fluorophenyl)-7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (ID-622), were shown. In anti-convulsant test, ID-622 was more potent than diazepam and medazepam when tested with pentylenetetrazol or bemegride, but was less potent than diazepam tested with strychnine or MES in mice. Taming effects of ID-622 were more potent than diazepam in both electroshock- and isolation-induced fighting mice tests, but were less potent in both septal rats and O.B. rats tests. ID-622 had only a weak influence on the spontaneous locomotor activity, and did not cause the righting reflex loss. In EEG, ID-622 increased fast activity and depressed hippocampal I-waves and amygdala after-discharge in cats. Acute toxicity of ID-622 was very low.

D009125 Muscle Relaxants, Central A heterogeneous group of drugs used to produce muscle relaxation, excepting the neuromuscular blocking agents. They have their primary clinical and therapeutic uses in the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. They have been used also for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
