Product Description
Tracazolate is an orally administered, non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic. Tracazolate significantly enhances the binding of the radioligand 3H-flunitrazepam (3H-FLU) to benzodiazepine receptors in brain tissue. Tracazolate also enhances the binding of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to its receptors. Tracazolate possesses anticonvulsant activity. Tracazolate can be used in anxiety-related research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Tracarzolate enhances the binding of [3H]-flunitrazepam to benzodiazepine receptors in mammalian brain tissue [1]. Tracarzolate enhances the binding of [3H]-GABA to its receptors in mammalian brain tissue [1]. Tracarzolate enhances the binding of [3H]-flunitrazepam to brain tissue [2]. Tracarzolate enhances the binding of GABA to rat meningeal components [2].
ln Vivo
Tracarzolate (10-80 mg/kg; intraperitoneal; oral; single dose) showed dose-dependent anxiolytic activity in an electric shock-induced drinking inhibition test in rats, with a relative potency of about 1/4 to 1/2 that of clozapine [1]. At all tested doses, tracarzolate (5-40 mg/kg; intraperitoneal; oral; single dose) did not produce statistically significant anxiolytic activity in the Geller conflict test in rats [1]. Tracarzolate (40-80 mg/kg; oral; once daily; for 12 days) did not show tolerance to anxiolytic activity after being administered once daily for 12 days in rats at doses of 40 or 80 mg/kg [1]. Tracarzolate (25-200 mg/kg; oral; single dose) showed dose-dependent anxiolytic activity in a mouse exploratory conflict test, with the lowest effective dose being 25 mg/kg (oral) [1]. Tracarzolate (intraperitoneal injection; single dose) has a weak antagonistic effect on metronidazole and bispus-induced convulsions in mice, with intraperitoneal ED50s of 27.7 mg/kg and 22.5 mg/kg, respectively [1]. Tracarzolate (oral; single dose) impairs rotarod test performance in mice at high doses, with an oral ED50 of 117.1 mg/kg [1]. Tracarzolate (oral; single dose) does not impair rotarod test performance in rats when administered via gastric infusion at doses up to 400 mg/kg [1]. Tracarzolate (12.5–100 mg/kg; oral; single dose) does not significantly exacerbate ethanol-induced rotarod test impairment in mice even when administered via gastric infusion at doses up to 100 mg/kg [1]. Tracarzolate (12.5-50 mg/kg; oral; single dose) prolonged ethanol-induced sleep time in mice at oral doses of 25 mg/kg and above, with its minimum effective dose being comparable to the minimum effective dose for anxiolytic effects [1]. Tracarzolate (5-10 mg/kg; oral; single dose) enhanced the anxiolytic activity of chlordiazepoxide in a shock-induced feeding depression rat model [1]. Tracarzolate (12.5 mg/kg; intraperitoneal; single dose) enhanced the anticonvulsant activity of chlordiazepoxide in mice, reducing the ED50 of chlordiazepoxide by approximately 6-fold [1]. Tracarzolate (20-40 mg/kg; intraperitoneal; single dose) did not increase water intake in non-dehydrated rats, nor did intraperitoneal doses of 20 or 40 mg/kg, suggesting that its anxiolytic activity was independent of driving force [1].
