General description
Bretazenil, a tetracyclic imidazocarboxylic ester, is an anxi-olytic/anticonvulsant agent. It possesses a half-life of 2.5 hours and is quickly absorbed.
Application
Bretazenil has been used to determine non-specific binding due to its affinity to bind to a variety of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor subtypes (α1-3;5). It has also been used as a GABAA receptor partial agonist in the subcutaneous Alzet minipumps to treat obese agouti?related protein (AgRP)?ablated and lean naive mice to study its effect on them.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bretazenil is a benzodiazepine partial agonist.
Bretazenil is capable of binding to γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors that are sensitive and insensitive to diazepam. This compound possesses negligible sedative or muscle relaxant effects.
