General description
Bretazenil, a tetracyclic imidazocarboxylic ester, is an anxi-olytic/anticonvulsant agent. It possesses a half-life of 2.5 hours and is quickly absorbed.
Application
Bretazenil has been used to determine non-specific binding due to its affinity to bind to a variety of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor subtypes (α1-3;5). It has also been used as a GABAA receptor partial agonist in the subcutaneous Alzet minipumps to treat obese agouti?related protein (AgRP)?ablated and lean naive mice to study its effect on them.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bretazenil is a benzodiazepine partial agonist.
Bretazenil is capable of binding to γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors that are sensitive and insensitive to diazepam. This compound possesses negligible sedative or muscle relaxant effects.

The mouse rotarod test of motor coordination/sedation is commonly used to predict clinical sedation caused by novel drugs. However, past experience suggests that it lacks the desired degree of sensitivity to be predictive of effects in humans. For example, the

Previous research suggests that intrinsic efficacy of benzodiazepines is an important determinant of their behavioral effects. We evaluated the reinforcing effects of the benzodiazepine partial agonist bretazenil using behavioral economic models referred to as "consumer demand" and "labor supply". Four
