A pharmacokinetic study of CGS-8216, a benzodiazepine receptor ligand, in the rat. 1984

R G Lister, and D J Greenblatt, and S E File

A rapid and sensitive method is described for the determination of CGS-8216 (a pyrazoloquinoline that displaces benzodiazepines from their binding sites in the brain but which reverses some of the behavioural actions of the benzodiazepines) in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. CGS-9896 serves as the internal standard. The method is applied to a pharmacokinetic study of CGS-8216 in the rat. CGS-8216 was not detectable in plasma 24 h after a single IP administration of a 10 mg/kg dose. Animals treated with five once-daily injections of CGS-8216 had plasma concentrations 30 min after the final injection that were approximately four-times those observed 30 min after a single treatment. This suggests that caution must be used in the interpretation of results from experiments using multiple administrations of CGS-8216. The compound could not be detected in brain tissue at any of the time points studied.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D003292 Convulsants Substances that act in the brain stem or spinal cord to produce tonic or clonic convulsions, often by removing normal inhibitory tone. They were formerly used to stimulate respiration or as antidotes to barbiturate overdose. They are now most commonly used as experimental tools.
