    Notes: Abstract The effect of lorazepam (2.5 mg) was assessed in two tests of short-term retention (digit-span and Benton Visual Retention), and in verbal learning and picture recognition tests. Lorazepam was without effect in a test of digit-span, but it impaired performance in the Benton Visual Retention and picture recognition tests. In the verbal learning test lorazepam caused a severe anterograde amnesia. Increasing arousal during the presentation of material partially overcame this effect, but also improved the performance of controls. Lorazepam-treated subjects were able to learn a backwards-reading task at a rate no different from controls. The deficits caused by lorazepam are similar to those that have been observed in patients with the amnesic syndrome.

    Notes: Abstract 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.

    Notes: Abstract The activity of rats in a holeboard test is reduced 30, 90, and 240 min after treatment with a single dose of lorazepam. The administration of a benzodiazepine antagonist (RO 15-1788) 20 min before the holeboard test (i.e., 10, 70, or 220 min after lorazepam administration) reverses the hypoactivity of animals tested 30 min after treatment with lorazepam, partially reverses the hypoactivity of animals tested 90 min after receiving lorazepam, but is without effect on the hypoactivity observed 240 min after treatment with the benzodiazepine. If, however, RO 15-1788 is given at the same time as lorazepam then it reverses the hypoactivity seen 4 h later. The results of these experiments demonstrate that a benzodiazepine can exert a behavioral effect at a time when it no longer appears to be acting at central benzodiazepine receptors.
