Reversal of the anticonvulsant effects of diazepam on amygdaloid-kindled seizures by a specific benzodiazepine antagonist: RO 15-1788. 1982

G Le Gal La Salle, and S Feldblum

The benzodiazepine antagonist RO 15-1788 was tested in an animal model of experimental epilepsy, the kindling effect. In animals fully kindled from repeated electrical amygdaloid stimulation, RO 15-1788 reversed the anticonvulsant effects of diazepam (2 mg/kg) from doses of 0.4-0.5 mg/kg. Doses up to 20 mg/kg also antagonized the preventive action of diazepam. RO 15-1788 alone had neither proconvulsant effects on the amygdaloid afterdischarges nor benzodiazepine-like activity on the kindled seizures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007696 Kindling, Neurologic The repeated weak excitation of brain structures, that progressively increases sensitivity to the same stimulation. Over time, this can lower the threshold required to trigger seizures. Kindlings, Neurologic,Neurologic Kindling,Neurologic Kindlings

D003975 Diazepam A benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and amnesic properties and a long duration of action. Its actions are mediated by enhancement of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID activity. 7-Chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one,Apaurin,Diazemuls,Faustan,Relanium,Seduxen,Sibazon,Stesolid,Valium
