Interaction of anticonvulsants with the barbiturate-benzodiazepine-GABA receptor complex.

F Leeb-Lundberg, A Snowman, R W Olsen.   

Abstract

Unlike the anesthetic barbiturate pentobarbital and the anxiolytic pyrazolopyridine etazolate, which enhance [3H]diazepam binding to rat brain membranes, the anticonvulsant barbiturates phenobarbital and metharbital, and also chlormethiazole, at therapeutic concentrations (10-1000 muM), do not stimulate [3H]diazepam binding, but instead block the enhancement by both pentobarbital and etazolate. The same anticonvulsants at similar concentrations inhibit [3H]alpha-dihydropicrotoxinin (DHP) binding suggesting that these anticonvulsants compete for the same receptor sites as pentobarbital and etazolate, designated the barbiturate-picrotoxinin receptor component of the benzodiazepine-GABA receptor complex.
