| Bioactivity | Ro15-4513, imidazobenzodiazepinone derivative, is a partial inverse agonist of benzodiazepine receptor (BZR)[1]. Ro15-4513 is a potent ethanol antagonist[2]. Ro15-4513 has anti-anxiety effect[3]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | BZR; ethanol; | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Ro15-4513 usually acts as a partial inverse agonist at GABAA receptors, except an agonist for α4 and α6 subunit-containing ones[3]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Ro 15-4513 (i.p.; 3 mg/kg; 10 min before being tested) completely inhibits the ethanol-induced (1.8 g/kg) reduction in total locomotor activity and partly the reduction in rearing[2]. Ro 15-4513 (i.p.; 3 mg/kg; 15 min before administration of 1.5 g/kg ethanol) reverses ethanol-induced sedation in GABAA receptor δ subunit-deficient mice[2]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
