lormetazepam/seizures

Behavioral and electroencephalographic effects of lormetazepam were investigated in rats, mice and rabbits, in comparison with those of diazepam, nitrazepam and flurazepam. Locomotor activity of mice in an open-field situation was decreased with large doses of lormetazepam and diazepam, while it was

Interaction studies between different injectable benzodiazepines and vecuronium, a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug, were performed in the rat in vivo sciatic nerve-tibialis anterior muscle preparation. The investigated doses were aimed to be "sedative" in the rat. A significant

First results from studies in healthy subjects with the beta-carbolines ZK 91 296, ZK 95 962 and ZK 93 426 are reviewed. ZK 91 296 and ZK 95 962, characterized as partial benzodiazepine agonists in preclinical research, were unable to induce some typical benzodiazepine effects like sedation when

Three benzodiazepine (BZ) receptor ligands of the beta-carboline group, namely the BZ receptor agonist ZK 93 423, the partial agonist ZK 91 296, and the antagonist ZK 93 426, were studied in epilepsy-prone Mongolian gerbils with different seizure types. Diazepam and clonazepam were included in these
