Product Description

Bretazenil, formerly known as Ro 16-6028, is a potent agonist of the GABA A receptor with the potential for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Bretazenil differs from traditional 1,4-benzodiazepines by being a partial agonist and because it binds to α1, α2, α3, α4, α5 and α6 subunit containing GABAA receptor benzodiazepine receptor complexes. 1,4-benzodiazepines bind only to α1, α2, α3 and α5 GABAA benzodiazepine receptor complexes.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor/GABAA
ln Vitro
Ro 16-6028 (bretazenil) has a pharmacological profile characteristic of a partial agonist at the gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor-linked benzodiazepine site. The present study utilized modulation of [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([35S]TBPS) binding and enhancement of GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake to further assess Ro 16-6028's partial agonist profile in vitro. Ro 16-6028 was the most potent benzodiazepine examined, exhibiting an IC50 (concentration at which half-maximal inhibition of specific [35S]TBPS binding occurs) of 6.1 nM, compared to clonazepam (7.9 nM), flunitrazepam (13.6 nM) and diazepam (91.1 nM). The rank order of potency for inhibition of [35S]TBPS binding was identical to that for inhibition of [3H]flunitrazepam binding. However, Ro 16-6028 was less efficacious in that it produced 27% inhibition of specific [35S]TBPS binding, compared to clonazepam (34%), flunitrazepam (41%) or diazepam (49%). Ro 16-6028 antagonized the inhibition of [35S]TBPS binding produced by 10 microM diazepam. Ro 16-6028 was also more potent and less efficacious than diazepam in potentiating GABA-stimulated 36Cl- uptake. These results provide further evidence that Ro 16-6028 is acting as a partial agonist at the benzodiazepine receptor in modulating function of the GABAA receptor complex.[2]
ln Vivo
Both minor (mMS, primarily clonic seizures, preserved righting ability) and major (MMS, generalized tonic-clonic) tetrazole-induced seizures are inhibited by bretazenil (0.001-0.1 mg/kg, injected intraperitoneally 10 minutes prior to tetrazole; male and female albino rats aged 7, 12, 18, 25, and 90 days) in a dose-dependent manner [3].
Alzet minipumps were loaded with bretazenil, a GABAA receptor partial agonist, and implanted subcutaneously to deliver 750 ng/hr for 14 days. After 3 baseline days with the bretazenil-eluting minipump, the AgrpDTR/+ mice were treated with DT (diptheria toxin). Food consumption by the bretazenil-treated group fell for the first 6 days after DT treatment, but then also returned to normal over the next 12 days. Bretazenil (0.2 mg/kg, ip) increased food consumption by wild-type mice during the first 4 hr, but 24-hr food intake was normal. Chronic delivery of bretazenil to wild-type animals for 10 days via a minipump had no effect on body weight. Once-daily administration of bretazenil (0.2 mg/kg, ip) was ineffective at preventing starvation after AgRP neuron ablation, suggesting that chronic activation of GABAA receptors is an important aspect of the rescue strategy. Chronic treatment with bretazenil also restored intra-oral sucrose consumption to >80% of original after ablation of AgRP neurons. Thus, both consummatory and appetitive responses are rescued by bretazenil treatment after AgRP neuron ablation. [4]
Animal Protocol
In vivo, various anxiolytic drugs exhibit a wide range of variability in their modulatory efficacy and potency of GABA action. For instance, bretazenil modulatory efficacy is much lower than that of diazepam. Such low efficacy could be due either to a preferential modulation of specific GABAA receptor subtypes or to a low modulatory efficacy at every GABAA receptor subtype. To address these questions we studied drug-induced modifications of GABA-activated Cl- currents in native GABAA receptors of cortical neurons in primary cultures and in recombinant GABAA receptors transiently expressed in transformed human embryonic kidney cells (293) after transfection with cDNAs encoding different molecular forms of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits of GABAA receptors. In cortical neurons the efficacy of bretazenil was lower than that of diazepam, whereas the potency of the two drugs was similar. In cells transfected with gamma 2 subunits and various molecular forms of alpha and beta subunits bretazenil efficacy was always lower than that of diazepam. However, in cells transfected with gamma 1 or gamma 3 subunits and various forms of alpha and beta subunits the efficacy of both diazepam and bretazenil was lower and always of similar magnitude. When bretazenil and diazepam were applied together to GABAA receptors including a gamma 2 subunit, the action of diazepam was curtailed in a manner related to the dose of bretazenil.[1]
